What’s wrong with this..

 

[shintoooo]

One is shipped from Brazil so there's more overhead lol

 

[Done-it-again]

Must be for the sissy that can’t kill their lobster to eat it.... and got to pay someone to do it for you....

Smaller lobster taste better than bigger ones anyways.. Always funny watching people pick the big ones out of the tank and spend big $$$$

Nothing like eating them in Puerto Nuevo at Lobster Village

 

[2Driver]

Its 29 because its the whole lobster being weighed
49/lb for the business end

The best deal going is a pound of Phillips pure blue crab meat at costco for 29lb

Only thing I can think of is that the tails have a shelf life vs the live lobsters will “hold” for longer

 

[Yldboyz]

Looks like you're having Bologna sandwiches tonight.

 

[Bails]

two different types of lobster

I catch my Lobster for Free!

I only have to pay $400 in fuel, $100+ in Bait, $30 in Glow Sticks, $13 for Lobster Card, $900 insurance, and thousands of $$$ in other shit that the salt water wipes out

The dude that bought my old house brought me some Long Beach lobsters…he dives for ‘em. Took one bite and spat it out.

The only ones edible are the shorts on the outside of the break wall…so I hear…i’ll stick to store bought, they probably didn’t spend their life in a sewer (Long Beach Harbor)

 

[Gramps]

the lobster "chick" looks like a crawdad!!!!!!

 

[shaffewm]

We are heading here next week. Cabbage Island in Maine. I’ll report back if I don’t go into a food coma.....

 

[Albert]

Arizona lobster / California lobster

 

[Tank]

We catch em Out front of the house at the breakwater. They’re tasty. Hoopnetting can be fun when you have a dingy off a big boat. Drop them Hoops and sit on the
Boat and drink beers for a while.

 

[78Southwind]

The one in the tank is a crawdad. The other one needs to be cooked next to a steak on my plate. BTW...that inflation reminds me of Brazil in the 90's.

 

[Gramps]

In 1971 (I think it was '71) we were going south to pit for one of the baja races. We broke down and wound up staying in El Rosario for a few days. The only place to eat was Mama's Espinoza's. Everything was either made from lobster or came with a lobster tail. I hear, 50+ years later the restaurant is still there.

Pacifics aren’t as sweet as Atlantics. Anything caught in the bays should be purged. We usually run an aerator in saltwater for a few hours. It’s wild what they purge.

Considering I just paid $18 for a whopper with bacon, fries, and a medium coke that doesn't seem half bad

 

[Boatles]

Costco is selling lobster tails for $24.99/lb.

They are good, you must have got one that was spoiled or the guy didn’t like you.

Have caught lobsters from Dana point, Newport, Long Beach, Catalina and all have been great.

 

[beertruck]

might pick up a few Maine lobster tomorrow, price seems reasonable. Gas is also only $3.49 a gallon

 

[beertruck]

might have cropped out the price, only $7.99 Lb

 

[stephenkatsea]

Our daughter in NYC has shipped us the live New England lobsters as a gift. They are very good. We once received a live 15lb local Pacific lobster as a wedding present. My good friend owned a fresh fish market in O’side CA. We kept him alive in our bathtub in Belmont Shore. That was a big lobster. Even had meat in its antennas. Had to take him to a fish market in San Pedro to be boiled. Good stuff.

Last week in Troncones we were alone surfing while this dude was diving from an old boogie board about 15’ for these and the carocal. Bought 6 and some carocal for about 50 bucks pesos and had the chef at our hotel whip up lunch . Best lobster tacos and ceviche in a while .

Lobster claw meat is the best. It doesn't cost much to have live lobsters shipped from Maine to steam here. We did it a couple of years ago on the rag boat in Catalina for New Years. Tail meat is OK, but fresh claw meat needs no butter or anything.

 

[The Prisoner]

I grew up in the 70’s going to this place which is now closed. ”Tweet” Balzanos in Rhode Island. Tweet was a big fat guy out of central casting to play a mob boss. Anyway used to order spaghetti by the pound. Yes. That’s how you ordered it. Giant plates. The best part? 3 1/2 pound baked stuffed lobster. Man. We were spoiled eating there. Ole Tweet died in 2001.

I'd bet most wouldn't know that in the early years lobster was considered a poor mans food and was very abundant, high in protein and even served to prison inmates.

The unlikely history of the lobster‘s rise from repulsion to a red-hot treat begins before the colonists. Native American tribes along the Atlantic ground lobsters into fertilizer and bait for fishing. They also cooked them, wrapping the lobster in seaweed and steaming them over red-hot rocks stacked on the beach—giving birth, the story goes, to the New England clambake.

Without the pressure of commercial fishing, lobsters were plentiful, littering the beaches after storms in piles taller than toddlers. In 1605 the first lobster catch was recorded and, at the time, when European settlers founded what was then Massachusetts Bay Colony, those kinds of numbers brought a negative stigma. Considered poor man’s protein, lobsters were gathered by hand in droves and eaten by the poor in baked dishes, fricassees, and tough, chewy stews—altogether different than how they’re consumed today.

Lobsters at the time were monsters, easily growing to 40 pounds or more. They were fed to prisoners, as they were the cheapest source of calories that could be found, although progressive authorities from the era tried to reign in the practice. Some servants in Massachusetts even included clauses in their contracts limiting their employers from feeding them lobster more than twice a week.
Urbanization and the growth of cities—particularly New York and Boston, where Maine’s catches could be easily shipped—helped the lobster shed its reputation, molting into a must-have dish of the rich by the late 19th century.

I never understood the affection for lobster. Without butter it tastes terrible. I’d much rather throw down $50 bucks on a Prime Steak

I have always said it is cheaper to go to the store and buy and seafood than go catch it. last time i bought a reel, my wife laughed and said how much tuna or halibut could you get at costco for that amount. I just laughed and so did the guy spooling the braid on it and he said "we dont ask those questions here"

Because when you just buy the tail you aren't paying for all of the weight of the body that you cant eat. So tails are more expensive.

 

[TeamGreene]

Not a big fan, would much rather have king crab.

 

[fat rat]

Red Lobster has a betta deal and you don’t have to cook and you get sides.

This poor MF’r still carries on that tradition

Best way to cook lobster I've found:

Use shears to split the tail in half leaving the last segment nearest the tail in tact

Carefully separate the meat out of each half of the shell but leave it in tact where it joins the tail.

In a bowl coat the partially separated tailes and shells in a mixture of melted butter, minced garlic, and hot sauce.

Return the coated meat back to the shell.

Grill over medium heat, indirect, on charcoal for a few minutes, shell down until you can see the meat starting to turn cooked, you can flip if you need to get the bottom side to cook.

Pull them just when you think they Aren't quite ready, they are.

I mean, it is only one lobster

My Opinion:

Your Prep is spot on. Split the tail and set the lobster meat on top. Garlic, Butter, n hot sauce is great.

I prefer putting the lobster tails on a baking pan and in the oven on broil for 8-1/2 minutes. They come out slightly crisp on the outside and perfectly tender n juicy inside!

When I was in Hawaii, I lived in Navy Housing. My neighbor in the Town Home was assigned to a P-3 Sub-Hunter Squadron and had to fly into Otis AFB every couple of months. He'd come back with cases of fresh, live lobster, and we'd have a major neighborhood lobster-fest. That $30 bucks a pound, above, would buy us 2 cases of bugs.

I'd pay it forward by having my air crews bring me back cases of fresh crab legs from Kodiak.

Oven works great too

I just love the way lobster tastes with that hint of flavor from being cooked on charcoal

According to large orange font it’s all because they want to make bigger burgers with bigger profits..

My next crazy price

 

[CarolynandBob]

These dumb prices for poor quality is why I just ordered a 1/4 beef and a half hog from a local farmer. Went to sams club in Clarksville TN. Had almost no meat and the stuff they had looked like crap.

Went to Nashville to pick up son and grandkids coming to visit. Stopped at Costco and they had meat and it looked better, but expensive. Spent $200 on some Filets, lamb and some fish. Which I didn't get much, but enough to get us by until the cow and hog get processed. I asked them to hang it for 2 weeks.
