To all the naysayers,
I didn't say that a 1 pound lobster would yield 1 lb of meat. I mentioned 1 lb because some places claim that they put that in the rolls (non of these places are around the lake region). Most, however, put between 1/3 to 1/2 pound of lobster meat. I have pulled enough meat of a 1 lb lobster and made lobster rolls that equal or beat the amount of meat that most places give. If you don't believe me, try it for youself and compare it to Sawyers, Lobster Pound, Tamarack, etc. They are not giving you more than 1/2 pound of meat at most.
The real point I was making was if lobster is so cheap, why are prices for lobster meals still going up. Howver, after reading the responses here, it seems most of you don't really think about it and will pay higher prices just for convenience. Hey, it's your money. Just don't be surprised next year if lobster prices are higher and your rolls are now $20. Would you be willing to pay that much for convenience?
