Smita Nordwall Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 LA Mart in the springfield area has live lobsters on sale this week for $4.99/lb. I have never seen them cheaper. Two frisky fellows came home with today for less than $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Heineman Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 New shell lobsters could definitely be that cheap, unfortunately you can probably expect only an ounce and a half to two ounces of meat per pound of live lobster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of that. But I recall soft-shell lobster season is usually in summer. Ah well, will report back if I stay hungry tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I thought of that. But I recall soft-shell lobster season is usually in summer. Ah well, will report back if I stay hungry tonight. Many years ago, while on lunch break, I spotted giant lobsters at a Super H for (I don't remember for sure) about $6 per lb.--they were cheaper per lb. than the smaller ones in the next tank. It was in mid Summer. Anyway I bought one that was nearly 3 pounds, got a box and some ice, and took it back to my parking garage at the office and finally home. It made the trip. My sweetie and I gorged ourselves on that thing. It was fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all in all, it was plenty of yummy lobsterness for a small amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Lobsters were $6/lb in the Rockville Great Wall yesterday. We got two for $13. The claws were a bit underfilled, but the tail was well filled and there was a tons of roe and tomale in the head. We once got a 7 lb lobster for $7/lb. Cooking it in an indoor setting was a traumatic experience for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
