Lobster Cheaper Than Deli Meat

[ThinkRight]

An excess supply in Maine of smaller soft-shell lobsters has driven prices to under $4 a pound, the Associated Press reported this week, making the luscious sea creature cheaper than the per pound price of deli meat in some cases.

Yes. One perk of living in Maine. Eight lobsters off the boat that day, $30 - $50.

Not if you live in the midwest....

Just got back from our only seafood restaurant "Red Lobster" and a lobster was still 27.99.

Wife got 1/2 Salmon, I got Great Lakes White Fish (wasn't that great) 2 sodas and the bill was just about $54 with tip.

Someone should open up a restaurant with an attached airstrip here and one in Main. Then fly Lobsters & Fish one way and Cheese & Meats the other.

Last time I was back home (Maine) I bought 12 lobsters at $2.50 a lb. That was 22 years ago.
