Summary
TikTok user Lucie McDonough shared a video of her and her partner’s dining experience at a fancy restaurant in St. Barths, where they ordered a king crab salad that they thought cost $65, but ended up being charged $750. The restaurant, Shellona, appears to charge by weight, and the menu price was listed as $60 per 100 grams. McDonough and her partner were shocked by the high bill and felt it was not worth the price. Commenters on the video agreed that the price was too high and suggested that it was price gouging.

The habit gets a new name.
Upscale dining with a side of sticker shock. Fancy restaurants, where a few appetizers and mains can add up to hundreds of dollars. But what happens when the bill is more than you bargained for? Like, $750 for a king crab salad. The lifestyle enters the chat, where paying by weight can be a real game-changer. And the original observation: “Apparently, ‘market price’ is just code for ‘we’re going to charge you whatever we want’.”
