Byerlys was a bust. I found none of the above except lobster tanks with Lobsters
at $15.99 lb. I have to find lobster a little cheaper than that... I will say it was a
very nice store and the carpeting makes it feel really homey..

I looked at the Ken's website out of curiosity and apparently you can just buy it online. A case of 12 8oz bottles for less than $20. That might be something to look into.

Check out places like cub foods and rainbow for fresh lobsters. Byerlys/Lunds is expensive for the most part, though not as expensive as people make it out to be, but still on average more expensive then places like cub foods.

Hmmm, maybe Whole Foods for the seafood. You could probably call and save yourself a trip.

Neither Cub nor Rainbow have Lobster tanks. I checked a few of them
and asked the Seafood guys and they tell me none of the Cubs/Rainbows
have lobster tanks..

mm ok. The cub foods that used to be where I live had lobster tanks I believe. They're no longer cub foods but im going to check out of curiosity next time im there.

Have you been to Whole Foods? I see people shop there on reality shows all the time, though they may be expensive, im not sure never been to one, and im assuming since I see chefs on tv go there to buy all their stuff im assuming they will be more expensive than like Cub and Rainbow. They got one in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, though the ones I've seen on tv are in like Los Angeles and stuff and are gigantic. I have no clue what the ones in Minneapolis and St. Paul are like.

Seafood prices here are just going to be more expensive because of shipping costs.

Yeah, you're living in the wrong state if you like fresh ocean caught seafood. You may have to ease into more dishes involving freshwater fish. Walleye is really popular here.

In Denver I bought Maine Lobster for $11.99 a lb.
I realize not everything will be cheap, I was just hoping to
at least match Denver prices on the Seafood.
