Thought I'd buy some chunks of lobster to make my own lobster roll. Blount charges $55 a pound! Is this the going rate? Anyone have a better source? Don't want to buy a whole lobster.
This doesn't help in Rhode Island but... I bought lobster meat at the Market Basket chain for $40.00/pound on Saturday. My local fish market is getting $45.00/pound. When lobsters shed their shells next month and the price crashes, the price for lobster meat drops some.
Thanks to all. I've never actually shelled a lobster. Would the lobster tails be easier and cheaper if I just want to make lobster rolls do you think? Or too much wastage?
^^^ The lobster tails are usually the most expensive, and the best tasting meat. The claws are usually the least $$. Blount is the most $$, and I can take or leave their chowder and their lobster rolls truthfully. I'd much rather buy the lobster meat down in Galilee / Point Judith. Last time I had a lobster roll up there, it was at The Greenwood Inn, Warwick -- awesome. Can't remember the price, didn't matter. The other place which is an excellent seafood restaurant, is in Point Judith. Not Aunt Carrie's .... it is on another corner.... Champlin's ? Charlie's? something like that, begins with a C. Great place.

The ones I got weren't huge, you'd need 3 of them or so for a roll. Cook them in boiling water for 5 minutes or so. They were easy to shell.

Once cooked, you simply cut a line with a sharp knife down the center of the back of the tail, spread the sides, and just pull out the meat. If it is cooked according to directions once you spread the tail, the meat should pop right out.
OK, now I have a hankering for a lobster roll.. It might be time to try the Del's at Bally's. I wonder how the lobster meat will stack up against the Del's in RI... I'm assuming it's the same supplier.
