Frog Leg Industry Employment in Quebec Province
Estimates suggest the frog leg industry is worth at least £100,000 annually to Quebec. In 1909 Montreal markets sold over $206,000 worth of frogs legs, likely half produced in the province, with local prices around 40 cents a pound. Abundant marshes support seasonal catching by locals, and most shipments from the consular district go to Boston and New York in small lots.
