Going extinct huh? What’re you basing that on? Most likely you’re just basing. Drugs are bad.

Buy some then. I’d tell ya what the boat price is, i.e. what we’re getting paid for catching them, but I don’t think you’d believe it. I sell them and I don’t even believe it but most definitely buy some lobster and support Maine lobstering. We’re a dying breed.

Thought it might go down a little for the fall. Pretty soon there won’t be a split price so that’ll be nice!

Amen to that. The alewives started about a month later so I’m hoping it’s just a late year. Good luck to ya. 👍🏼

We were @ $4.25/run 5.25/select up til Sunday when they dropped it 50 cents on us after that 3 day blow. Now we’re sittin at 3.75/4.75 respectively. Price is supposed to go the other way this time of year. Scary time for the lobster industry for sure.
