Heh, poke bowls are already $20 where I live. Maybe we should make them $30 or $40 and save the fish.

You get a punch card. 5 per year. Every time you eat a tuna dish, youy get a punch.

Oversimplifying the problem for a punch line, since there's only a few viable solutions, as I see it now.

  • I'd take a war time like food rationing system over what is most likely going to happen. At least with rationing you get your 5 meals/year and the option to trade/sell them if you don't want. Without rationing you'll get nothing (because you can't afford it) and the wealthy just carry on as usual.

Increasing what fish wholesale pay for caught tuna might serve to make smaller catches more viable.

I mean I expect those dish prices to go up regardless but I don't think that is near enough by itself. Fishing families have to pay their bills and corp fishing execs have to satisfy whoever they're beholden to. Those are powerful motivators and they commonly don't respond to anything less than enforced regulation.
