      And lobster used to be a garbage fish. The working class foods always seem to lead the charge, then gentrification sets in. Fish heads used to be nearly free in some places.

        Chicken wings, too.

        Restaurants would sell them for 25¢ each. If they needed to get rid of a bunch, 10¢ each. So cheap you never thought of making them at home except to use in a stock, maybe.

          yeah i remember .10 wings that was before hooters came along; I feel like they played a big part in popularizing wings on the national stage.
