Default Live Lobsters

For those in the Alton Area, I'd recommend heading down Rte 11 to Rochester to Tides Fish Market. It's just north of the Rte 16 intersection.


On Saturday we got five 1.5-1.75lbs hardshells ($7.95) and 6.5 lbs of Steamers ($4.95) for right around $100. All of it was fantastic! The steamers were very clean an nicely sized ..I'd say mostly medium but many smaller and larger mixed in. Almost NO cracked/crushed shells. The lobster were perfectly sweet and the hardshells packed … lots of meat per lobster. The only downfall was that shells were tough to crack!


Nice people there too....


Cheers…
