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

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.

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