There's a contradiction in what you're posting . You can't have a situation where a product is costly yet in great demand where for one local produce can't keep up with the demand yet in spite of imports prices remain high .What I think he meant was that the in situ supply is enough for only those limited number of folks with deep enough pockets (and the craze for it) but this does not apply to the majority of the population, for whom the fish remains out of their reach due to its exorbitant price and the influx of mere 3000 tons from the other side isn't gonna put a dent in the price and thus, it'd be inconsequential. @Jackprince , feel free to correct me if I've got it wrong.
This clearly means though the prices are high , affordability has increased as people with disposable incomes have increased which in turn means in spite of high demand prices continue to remain high in spite of imports.
He couldn't bring himself to explain such a simple phenomenon & tied himself in knots eating up unnecessary bandwidth just to play up his chauvinism denying any need for imports then claiming supplementation and on and on...
