Where to buy lobster?
 

Where can I get live lobster? Fresh Market only has frozen tails.

Not inexpensive but we order Maine Lobster from Live Maine Lobsters!

Last time I looked, Winn Dixie at Sumter Landing had live lobsters. A bit pricy as I recall.

Just got back from the Boston area. Two years ago , the price was about $6 a pound. This year it was around $12 a pound. They blamed it on COVID saying that the unemployment payments were discouraging many of the lobster pickers from their jobs.

Really? $6 a lb in the Boston area a year ago?
In the late 1980s I used to take my kids to Bar Harbor, and we paid $5/lb at the wharf then. And it was a bargain.

They had them at that Winn-Dixie the last time I was there in a tank. There were two or three of them on display.

An ex-New Yorker, Maine was a day drive. I recall at one of the tourist traps you go to the prison. They had a riot as they were serving lobster too often. i also recall, people selling lobster from hot dog carts at the side of the road.

Agree, buy from Maine. One Christmas we purchased $100 worth of Maine lobster meat and some real New England Chowder - well worth the money.

Not my business, but don't buy Lobster anywhere locally, waste of good money and the meat is awful.

I agree precooked frozen very dry waste of money.

Not inexpensive is correct. $176.54 for 2 pounds of lobster meat, including delivery.

Wow, I can get live lobster from Red Lobster at $25 a lb. not sure about the quality though. I’m checking out the various ideas today. Thank you.

Retired Guy, I generally have great respect for your posts and you have helped me several times, but what happened to your math in this instance? Where did you get $176.54 from JoMars post. The lobsters were much less expensive than that. Maybe check again.:)

That's the right price for lobster meat delivered from JoMars source. However, two whole live lobsters are "only" $77 delivered.

Bar Harbor Seafood in Orlando

We prefer cold water Lobster, most of what's sold here and served here is warm water.
