Or are their better choices?

We live in Ohio now. Not exactly the seafood capital of the world, although I do enjoy freshwater fish now.

I want to make an easy Christmas dinner. We were looking online. We are thinking about ordering scallops, salmon. clam chowder, shrimp, mussels, and New England Clam chowder.

Our kids aren't coming home so we thought we'd treat ourselves. We are originally from Long Island's North Shore. How is this place?

Lobsters were on sale around March when COV19 cases made the Chinese stopped importing lobsters,but now I think prices have come back up.
Fulton Market also have a website you can order seafood,most restaurants and supermarkets get them flown daily from Fulton Market .
I have tried both,lobsters served in restaurants and lobster you can buy from lobster tank in local supermarket,the ones in restaurants are fresher!
So I would suggest you take a look at Fulton website.

Check out the Stonington Lobster Co-OP, in Stonington, Maine. Right off the boats.

I decided to shop for lobsters for Christmas this year, and while there are some deals with the different companies, the shipping is a killer.

After shopping many of the companies, I ordered 2 large lobster tails (@ 12-14 oz) which cost $103.

The shipping is $30. I think this might be justified if I were ordering live lobsters, but I think it’s excessive for frozen food.

As for the other parts of your seafood dinner, OP, you can probably get the rest locally. I know I have no trouble getting clams, mussels, shrimp and scallops at my grocery stores.

So, I just priced 2 lobsters...$54. (doable)
Shipping... $65.00 (Ridiculous)

You would be better off, just taking a vacation to Maine. I have spent many a summer vacationing in Maine and NH. There is no better seafood anywhere.....from fried clams, to lobster. We would get a condo on the beach, and buy our seafood, and cook it and have it overlooking the ocean. Lobster, mussels, oysters, clams. Can`t wait for our next trip.

I know, I know. That option isn't possible right now. We are stuck in Ohio, for the time being.

Overnight... that’s to be expected.

Crazy how much you guys pay for lobsters. Never paid more than a few bucks.
