The supermarket ( or shipped "Maine" lobsters come from Maine or Canada). So they take a ride ( several hundred miles) to make it to CT at $4/ lb. CT lobster production is very minimal. These critters seem to thrive in the colder waters.I could get CT lobsters in the summer, but they aren't dirt cheap.
$4 a pound for lobster is cheap as Hell, IMO. I actually get tired of eating it more than twice a week.
