I have a few pounds of Souther Maine Lobster border. I already have this question all the time.
Up and down the east coast of New England, the price of the "boat" for changes lobster after a few days. This is captured on the amount of lobster is based, the supply and demand. The boat is the price of lobster fishermen sell their catch to a wholesaler or a restaurant or the one who wants to buy.
The reason for the purchase of the boat is difficult, because most lobstermen do not scale on his boat. The fishermen want to be sure that for every pound they start paying, so they can not sell to buy a person on the document that few.
Not only purchasing the right off the boat hard, but the lobsters are not very busy when they come to the right side of the boat. Lobster fishermen save lobsters in "pit of locusts" that are not in water. Therefore, lobsters were caught in May on water for several hours from the time the fishermen reached the shore.
But the attraction of buying aThe boat looks good, but does not really work so great. The best option is to buy a few pounds of lobsters. The price is usually only 1-2 dollars per pound to the price of the boat, and locusts have the time, had to revitalize their tanks with lobsters. In our book, bought lobster fresh lobster from the fishermen who, every day, and all the lobsters in our reservoirs are almost as cool as you can get. Not only do they only have been the sea for 12-24 hours, but again cold salted water in our reservoirs.
As for the browser has to live lobsters very easy to carry. The only downside is that traffic is expensive. We pack and ship the lobsters, the Internet and people who come to our store. Even with our former Fed rebates, delivery is almost always more expensive than the cost of the locusts. But to answer the question, it can be done, but only willing to pay about $ 4-5 per pound lobster to be sent.
The cost of the boat in southern Maine is now 5-6Dollars. In Boston, I think it's maybe a little cheaper, 5.50 per pound.
Hope this helps.
