It used to be considered bottom-feeding peasant food and was served in prisons.it got overfished which created scarcity, commodity scarcity attracts businesses since that means more money. it wasn't rationed during the world wars so they were able to turn it into a high end food that they could freely sell in a functionally protected market, shit like that builds on itself and its why we think its a high end food now. --- Taarsidath-an halsaam.
