NS whitetail Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Does anyone know what the price of live lobster is where you live ? The price that we are getting this season is low to other years . The lobster buyers are blaming it on the failing economy in the US and world wide ~ even though we relize that it is some of the reason, most of us also think that this is an excuse to rip us big time The next time you are in a supermarket, take a look for me will ya Instead of selling them all to a local buyer, we are thinking about trying to market some of our own.

Randy Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Not real sure Lewis. It's pretty hard to find around here. I do however bet that I could get a pretty penny for the walleye I'm frying up right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach1 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Don't even think you can buy live lobster within 50 miles of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisha Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 They stopped selling live lobster in our local walmart several months ago. Even when I wasn't in there for groceries, I'd always walk over there and text Justin, letting him know what the price was just so he had an idea. If we go to Sams Club tomorrow I will see if they have fresh tails for sale. Buyers still offering the same price Lewis? Figures this would happen the year that Justin and I buy a house. Just our luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegz70 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) They stopped selling lobster at my local wal mart too!!! But i just checked and red-lobster will ship directly to your door.....LOL Edited December 4, 2008 by crazylegz70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Dallas Morning News article. Newsweek article. There have also been a lot of grocery chains that have caved in to pressure from animal rights groups and quit selling live lobsters because they're kept in "inhumane" conditions. I'm sure that hasn't helped the prices any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'll check Lewis...I have not bought any for a couple months now. Since theres only a short time left around here for the hunting season I may be in the market again. Right now the wallet is suffering from "SPS"... "Sporting Expenditures Syndrome":o:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
