Sunday River Top to Bottom for Sunday?

The way they do crab down in Baltimore is pretty damn good. Once a lobster is over a pound and a half it isn't worth it imo, unless it is being use for other things that lobster should not be used for (mac n cheese, etc.)

Yum Maryland crab cakes.

There's a guy right down the street that hooks me up with a pound and a quarter hard shells for about $5 a piece most of the year when he's not drunk and actually bothers to go fishing. The key is to catch him when he's hammered after he's gone fishing. That's when he gives you the good deal and sometimes even offers a beer to share with him.

Certainly beats a foot long Subway sandwich

The big lobster is tough and flavorless school of thought is a misconception....and lobster is soooo godamn versatile, its pairs well with so many different things.

But yeah, I LOVE crab also!

Agreed, I have had some great 3-5 lbs. ones for Holiday dinners and such, but if my friend is hauling traps and asks what I want it is the smaller type. I will only buy them direct from the guys, the fact Stop and Shop here sells them for $10.99 a pound while they are lucky to get $3 a pound just gets under my skin. Even on sale in RI the cheapest I've seen the past few years has been $7-8 a pound.This year my friend out of Freeport, ME was getting about $3.40 a pound versus last year the highest he got was about $2.60. That difference can be an extra $20k+ for those guys. I worked on his boat a few days this summer, shit is no joke and they deserve every penny.

Those are crazy store prices. The most I've seen Market Basket charge around here the past 5 years is 8.99 in the middle of winter. Its no wonder Stop and Shop closed I believe all of their NH stores

 

[Tin]

When we visited Portland and Freeport this year they were $6.99 a pound. Up in Bar Harbor in May they were $4.99 a pound.

Every summer for a period of time I see Market Basket in NH has lobsters on sale for $3.99/lb. I generally dont buy lobsters for home as I feel its too messy and too much effort for little meat. I do enjoy lobster rolls all prepared for me though!

I do not like lobster rolls. I know they do have hot lobster rolls but the ones with mayo are a travesty.

I generally like them warm with butter but occasionally will go for the mayo version.

 

[MadMadWorld]

I think this is the greatest hijack ever.

 

[Newpylong]

The Basket def has Lobsters for $3.99/lb but they are always Chicken size. Who doesn't love lobsters or crabs? This is making me hungry even this early.

You should have your citizenship revoked. Or at the bare minimum banished from New England.

Take mine too, I don't like Lobster. But I'll have a frappe and whoopie pie instead

I have never eaten one or will eat one. And I prefer King Crab or Snow Crab to Lobster

I love lobster just not lobster rolls those are for tourists.

I'd rather get 10 hot weiners in the same roll, for the same price as one lobster roll.

When we rented a place on the Maine coast for my parent's 50th, we kayaked out and bought them straight off the boat. Steamed them in sea water with sea weed, I'm not a lobster nut but those were soooooo good!

 

[deadheadskier]

I eat lobster about once a week. I can make lobster dinner for two at home for about the same price as ordering a large pizza.

 

[Tin]

Lobster steamed in sea water is so much better than from the tap. Makes all the difference.
