Wow,good investigating,Pineedles....I always thought Japan was the biggest lobster customer.You are right that the best lobster roll is one you make yourself from scratch....but it is not the cheapest.This time of year new shell lobsters are mostly available.A one pounder only yields about 3 oz of meat.A 1lb hard shell yields about 4 oz. Average price this summer is around $7 per pound which equals $28 lb for the meat,compared to $18 for frozen.
