    Nice post but the first two items are inexpensive and quite common. There are many other ingredients that are much more expensive and rare such as shrimp, truffles and rare cheeses. U8 shrimp are rarer and more expensive per pound than lobster and when prepared perfectly, exceed it’s sweetness and texture.

    I just like tasty food, not keen on the fishy stuff. Make sure any Oysters are very fresh if you try them.
