    i see it most of the year 30 dollars plus or minus for tails and claws (no shells just meat, maine lobster), knuckle meat a little less. i wont say what it used to cost about 15 years ago, oh yes i will, i used to buy lobsters at 2 dollars each off the boat 50 at a time and they would throw in a barrel and deliver it to the house. and they were good sized lobsters

    When most of us in New England talk about lobstah's we mean North Atlantic Lobstah's. To the best of my knowledge they aren't found anywhere else in the world, at least this family of lobstah.

    Langoustine, Rock lobsters and The Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus, (also called Dublin Bay prawn or langoustine), is a slim orange-pink lobster up to 24 cm long found in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean and North Sea as far north as Iceland and northern Norway, and south to Portugal; it is not common in the Mediterranean except in the Adriatic, notably the north Adriatic.

    The tail is muscular, and is frequently eaten, often under the name "scampi". Norway lobster is eaten on special occasions in Spain and Portugal, where it is cheaper than the European lobster


    There is a big difference believe me.
