Lobster

[kitedemon]

Tonight be partner and I bought three lobsters fresh from the ocean, they were fabulously good. I felt badly for the fishermen they are getting next to nothing for them. The groceries are giving them between 2.25 and 3$ a pound they are selling them on the street for 3.50$ to 5$ a pound (depending on who and where) It is such a hard fishery and so much work it seems too cheap. I know the price on NS lobster is really different in the US so I was wondering if anyone has purchased any in the last little while? Was it a reasonable priced or expensive?

We live in New England. Don't even really think about lobsters. Octopus is where it's at! Sushi, as well!

Lobsters around here are around $6 a pound for whole ones and 20 a pound for tails.

When they go on sale theyre $4.99/lb. ive never seen cheaper than that. I live in CT though so of course everything is more expensive.

Way more expensive out here in California too. I don't know the current price, but I've seen it for as high as $25.99 a pound. Lobster tails in the supermarket always seem to be around $15.
