This pot of fresh Atlantic Lobster looks divine, does it not? Sigh....wish this was sitting on top of my stove getting ready to be a meal. Sadly, it is not.
My dear Dtr. and her boyfriend are back East in Halifax Nova Scotia visiting his family. And yes, they are about to sit down and eat these fresh 2 lb. lobsters for dinner. Mercy....I want me some lobster bad! She sent me these photos she took with her cell phone. Trying not to cry here.....
They purchased 6 fresh 2 lb. Lobsters for $55.00 - roughly $8-$9.00 a lb. Here on the West Coast - (Pacific Ocean), we pay $35.00 for one, yes, one 2 lb. Lobster - which are flown in over ice.
Why is it, we always want what we do not have? Dang....I still want me some Lobster! Maybe I can entice my DH into taking me to a very expensive seafood restaurant downtown....pray for me? (DH does not eat shell fish of any kind - I have to convince him that Seafood restaurants do in fact serve steak and chicken too!)
I soooo want to dive in!
Ina, I've got the lobster craving too!!
Erin - every time I look at that picture, my mouth waters! Gotta get working on my DH about that Seafood Restaurant!
your dtr is a baggage and deserves a good slap!!! Lol!
Janet - she was even laughing when she called me. But guess what? She is missing out on a big dinner this weekend with Creme Brulee for dessert!
Sounds like a trip to lobster land should be planned. Or maybe you could present that local seafood restaurant as a much cheaper alternative option to your DH. 😉 I prefer crab over lobster, but that lobster does look really good and I love those prices!

Thanks Shirley! I love crab more than lobster too...but I still would love to have fresh Lobster! 🙂
Creme Brulee!!!!!!!!!!! Where may I ask *hands on hips* is MY invitation???
Janet - you will always have an invitation to my dinner table! 🙂
I've been trying to cook lobster but I simply can't even if it's not alive, I just go and buy lobster tail and now I wish I also had lobster for dinner
Beti - I have never cooked a whole fresh lobster either...not sure if I could as much as I want to! 🙂
I love fresh lobster's dishes a lot but never cooked them or prepared them at home 🙁
I eat them occasionally in a fine restuarnt! 🙂
Me too Sophie....but one day, if I have courage, I will try to cook one at home! 🙂
