Ummmm, LOL, Read it again. It **WAS** Cousin's Lobster truck that we paid $14. It was at a Fall Festival at a large farm somewhere off of 441 that had about 12 different food trucks a couple years ago. Evidently the minimum wage lobsters have demanded to sacrifice themselves for the good of man has gone above $15/hr.


From a 2018 article about them:

Customers can expect to spend between $15 to $20, which the franchise owner, Julianne Lilly, as well as one of the founders, Sabin Lomac described as an "affordable luxury."

"We want everyone to taste every bite of the sweet, succulent lobster as if it was coming out of the pot and in butter."
Both the Maine Lobster Roll and Connecticut Lobster Roll cost $16.50 plus tax.
