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.
