Funny what decades of marketing can do. It wasn't super effective since it took so long for it to take effect but it worked in the end.
Crabs and lobsters etc were considered mostly trash years ago but with enough marketing they're now a delicacy. Fucking sea bugs. They taste disgusting just like almost everything else that comes from the sea.

East coast Canadian here. Lobster is cheap as fuck here and I eat it all the time (only upside to living in this wasteland). I remember 20 years ago the rich kids brought processed lunch meat to school while poor fucks like myself brought lobster rolls.

Sure, "delicacies" are often the result of marketing, but are you really going to argue that processed lunch meat is better than lobster? And I don't give a fuck if you think lobster tastes like shit, that's pretty god damn subjective. Unless you're one of those faggots who thinks taste is empirical and objective and anyone who disagrees with you must be faking it.

An estimated 200,000 animals were taken before the 20th century.[44] The relatively immobile and defenceless tortoises were collected and stored live on board ships, where they could survive for at least a year without food or water (some anecdotal reports suggest individuals surviving two years[106]), providing valuable fresh meat, while their diluted urine and the water stored in their neck bags could be used as drinking water. The 17th century British pirate, explorer and naturalist William Dampier wrote that "They are so extraordinarily large and fat, and so sweet, that no pullet eats more pleasantly,"[107] while Captain James Colnett of the British Navy wrote of "the land tortoise which in whatever way it was dressed, was considered by all of us as the most delicious food we had ever tasted."[108] US Navy captain David Porter declared that, "after once tasting the Galapagos tortoises, every other animal food fell off greatly in our estimation ... The meat of this animal is the easiest of digestion, and a quantity of it, exceeding that of any other food, can be eaten without experiencing the slightest of inconvenience."[81] Darwin was less enthusiastic about the meat, writing "the breast-plate roasted (as the Gauchos do "carne con cuero"), with the flesh on it, is very good; and the young tortoises make excellent soup; but otherwise the meat to my taste is indifferent."

you really have to try straight up cleaned crabs at some point to know. I like the method of pulling the shells off and spraying the guts out...but I also like to sit down with a shit ton of crabs cooked in budwieser and old bay which is what i grew up with.

My point still stands. There are people who object to elephant hunting despite the fact that without someone paying tens of thousands of dollars to harvest one (and not even getting to keep the ivory or pretty much any other part of it) they'd just be culled anyway because most of the preserves and national parks are at their carrying capacity.

It's a matter of creating a supply (for the demand), government bureaucracy and international politics.
By creating a limited supply of of expensive 'legal ivory', you're also generating a demand for relatively 'less expensive illegal ivory'. The ban intends to stamp out demand.
Once you have this 'legal demand', government bureaucracy and international politics comes into play where countries where the endangered animals live will be seen as a revenue generating resource.
"If country X is selling their legal animal part for A amount of dollars, why should country Y not compete by selling it at a dollar value that is less than A?"
Then you have these countries all scrambling to declare that they have more stocks of those animal parts and at a more competitive price. Since there no international governing body that can legally enforce the set quotas, the intention of giving an economic incentive to ensure the animal's continued existence goes into jeopardy because you're now back in step 1"

Let's take sturgeon and caviar, for example. They are currently critically endangered but there are set quotas for countries around the Caspian Sea but due to a lack of enforcement, rampant bribery and assorted other factors, the actual catch numbers are several times higher than the legal ones set, which are already higher than the recommended catch numbers.
Also, 'illegal' caviar can suddenly turn legal as long as you have the required paperwork - which makes it a little funny when caviar caught in Russia end up in Dubai, Dubai official says "Is legal, we give certification it is legal" and get shipped off to buyers.
