   A large part of the problem is that the Conch is on the Endangered Species list in most locations where they grow.

   That makes it Very difficult for any restaurant to put them on the menu.

   Sadly, the US Congress has written Tipping into both the Minimum wage laws and the US Tax Code.

   And, they have gotten well paid to not allow the Minimum wage to increase since the 2007 amendments increased the minimum wage to $5.85 per hour effective July 24, 2007; $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008; and $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009.

   It has remained frozen at the 2009 level for the last 15 years.

   When a Salad is the most expensive thing on the menu, that tends to attract attention, too.
