  • Lobsters are so expensive these days even in Australia where they are caught. Hope this video helps you all out a little.

      In ireland if the lobster is in a tank its required by law to feed the lobsters. If not its animal abuse and cruelty.

      @@FHX01 lobsters take an incredibly long time to grow. Many years. The extra feeding will significantly increase nitrogen (ammonia, nitrates) and phosphates in the water, requiring costly filtration or water changes, otherwise face algae or worse: dead lobsters from ammonia toxicity.
      Should the lobsters be fed? Absofuckinglutely
      Are they typically fed more than the minimum required to keep them moving? Questionable…

    Back un 1989 the price of live Maine lobsters dropped radically because of a surplus yearly catch. It went from $18.99 a pound to $6.50 at the local fish store so I took advantage of it and bought three 5 pound plus lobsters and did several all-you-can-eat lobster extravaganzas. Lobster, beer, Cole slaw, French bread, and lots of drawn butter. Life was good! That year I did this a bunch of times.

      @Mellie lll I was actually in college and the place I bought them from was called "The Lobster Pond". You could also buy ling cod, pacific cod, sable fish, abalone, wild king salmon, red snapper, monk fish, and a bunch of other fish that haven't been available for years here where I live. Now because I am an old grumpy fisheries biologist, I buy cases of red king crab ($389.99/10 lbs) from Costco all-you-can-eat parties with my friends. The best party of all was the one we had when it was confirmed that trump had lost the election.... a grand party indeed! Five cases.

Also the red king crab at Costco came from Russia and we all know what's happening there with exports.

    As a diver who catches a lot of lobster (eastern mostly) in Sydney and NSW for over 30yrs I can guarantee you putting a limp piece of damp paper over a live lobster will do absolutely nothing to keep it fresh. Once it is out of water it will start to die. Either put it in aerated sea water or keep it cool.
