i am certain it will be in boston a day or two after the season opens. it is kept properly chilled, and airfreighted to major(boston included) metro areas. the first day the price will be double the price two weeks later. if you have a mccormick shmick, they usually have it very early on.

i once had a friend in alaska send fome he had caught, by airfireigt. the airrieght cost, including ice weight, came to about $ 40 a lb. unless this is a bad year, within a couple three weeks, costco has had crs for $10/lb.
