If it makes no difference to the diners, why aren't fishermen charging that higher price now? Capitalism is about charging the price that maximises profit, not just looking at your costs and adding a margin. If fishermen can't charge 20% more now, what makes you expect them to be able to charge more in the future and make the same sales?
