Ok, but this has to be a pretty small minority, right? What percentage (or absolute numbers) of people do you think eat lobster daily, or even weekly?

I guess the real question is how many people matter. Is it 1 million that we care about? 50k? 10k?

Lobster is a food item, just because it is now treated as a special food item on special occasions does not mean everyone does.

In the context of sustainable lobster populations, total consumption is the only metric that matters -- not distribution of consumption frequency.
