It's really hit or miss Cliff on pricing. I've bought lobster as low as $4.99/lb. Prices have been at $8 or $9 for chix and my guess is there was an oversupply at that price so they are clearing them out for the 4th.
You are always welcome here, have everything you need.
Would like to make the bisque this weekend.
My favorite crab is snow crab which is closely tied with lobster, crab being much sweeter. I had some king crab recently and it was not all that great. Certainly not $24/lb great. I need to get a pair of EMT scissors to cut snow crab legs open longitudinally.
Would have made this easier all the way around.
