Didn't "they" forecasted - earlier - higher prices for lobsters coming out of Atlantic this year? This is great for the "tummy" - feets on the ground this weekend & doing a family BBQ in the rear yards, heading over to the local supermarkets and going to checkout "retail" pricing to see ... Hmmm, time to do lobster-clam bake, NE style. Chains like Red Lobster or even Summer Shacks aren't going to lower their "seasonal prices" that much and this is definitely a DIY, bring out the old newspaper & the mallet.

Cruise lines are still serving warm water lobster tail in halved size - must be the economy, you know (as they said)
