Price of lobsters...
Quite frequently I can get lobster at my favorite seafood market in San Francisco for less than what I pay in the Lakes Region. WHY?
Right now the price here, in SF, is $11.99# What prices have you seen recently? In June they were around $14.99 at Hanafords, I think.

5.99 per pound at Market Basket in Rochester is the cheapest I've seen.

Sanders Lobsters
Time to get with your neighbors and take their order. Then a quick road trip to Sanders Lobsters in Portsmouth NH not that far. Prices start at $6.99 for soft shell chix and go up from there. Fresh Fresh fresh the best. Its worth the trip and maybe they will give you a deal on a large group buy.
Check them out. |

Maine is having a record year with the lobster harvest but exports to China have more gone through the roof this year.
They consider it a great delicacy and are paying up to $100 lb and that is affecting prices locally. |

$12.99 for hardshells at Sal's in Moulton Farms. I learned last year why to avoid soft shell lobsters. As they grow they shed their shells, as we all know. Well the soft shells have just molted and not yet grown into their new homes. You need twice as many than hard shells for the amount of edible meat! (Your mileage may vary LOL)

Remove from heat and allow to cool. * Mix in the crackers, and add lemon juice, wine and salt and pepper, to taste.

$12.75 for hard shells at the Lobster Connection in Belmont. Picked up some 3-4 pounders yesterday, they were packed with meat and had to break the claws with a hammer.
Got a few soft shells at Hannaford a week or so ago for $6.99, could tear them apart without any "tools" and the claws had barely a sliver of meat in them. By comparison, the hard shells seemed like a bargain....they were delicious, sweet and tender. I bring a large pot about 1/4 full of water to a boil, put the lobsters in. When the water comes back to a boil I set the timer for 14 minutes and they are perfect. ( this is for the 3-4 pounders, the chicks are timed at 8 minutes.) |

Microwaved bugs...
The San Francisco Chronicle did a cooking comparison for lobster...Boil, steam and MICROWAVE, Microwave won. Cooks in it's own juice. I've have tried this several times...A definite winner! Problem? Unless you have more than one oven, you can only cook one at a time. Don't try to double the time and stick two in there. IT DOES NOT WORK! I tried and failed.
