    yeah.  these were nearly twice what we normally pay.  i actually called her friday from Market Basket because she had suggested lobsters before the weekend.  i said "guess how much the lobsters are?" she thinking they wer gonna be on sale.  "nope.  8.99 a pound" 

    we laughed and said "no way"

    yesterday though, with the brisket in the fridge, her car towed, after a long weekend soccer tournament, and all the decent steaks sold out at 4pm, she called an audible.

    then of course the fiasco trying to steam them on a twenty dollar ho plate. hahaha

    Do y'all buy them right off the boat and/or dock? I would kill to have easy access to lobster at a decent price. I would probably eat myself to death if I did. 
    almost seems taboo to buy off the docks around me, i dont think those guys make huge sums and maybe the big buyers frown on it. used to have an IN though, 100 dollars and a rubbermade barrel would show up delivered nearly full and that included a 25 dollar tip =)  its even better now, my neighbor just sold 2 seafood restaurants but kept the high powered steamer, he just shows up with a pile cooked  with butter on the side ;) last neighborhood party we were shuffling lobsters back and forth in a wheel barrel

    We land-locked folks are so jealous!  Our kids bought couple of supermarket lobsters yesterday, just under two pound each, on sale 8.99/lb. They boiled it, thanks for sharing the steaming tip.

  • @Darby_Crenshaw is it possible to have something like that shipped to Atlanta? Anyone know of a reputable source?  Some how, some way, I've got to give this a try. Licking the screen isn't getting it done.

    We used to use www.lobsters-online.com, to ship lobsters to my parents, but that was when you essentially paid retail for the lobsters and shipping was the premium

    i just checked their prices though and they are higher now than retail. Too bad

  • I'm not really concerned about price (to an extent) I'd just like to try a lobster of that size. I'll look into the site. Thanks for the info!

    i think we got a six pounder from them once.

    i would SERIOUSLY recommend steaming though.  the half tails grilled are passable, but there is some loss when you roast the rest in-shell.

  • I will be knocking when I have them in my possession for some guidance on cooking. Never cooked lobster before but that's about to come to an end.

    well i think  then you ought to just get 1-1/2 to 2 pounders. Harder to screw up, and everyone gets one.

    Give Kathleens Catch a call in Johns Creek. They get a lot of fresh fish in maybe they can get some Monster Lobsters.
