How it's used

Restaurants often use this term for fresh seafood or seasonal produce where costs fluctuate daily. It signals that the final bill depends on the weight or the market rate on that specific day rather than a fixed menu price. Customers are expected to ask for the current rate before committing to an order to avoid surprises.
