Yeah, it itches too. I think a chunk of it felt off the other night while I was fopping.

$6.99 is decent... i've seen better prices at Chinese markets. Anyways, personally i prefer the small canners ones... they're 1lb each, but they're much tastier than the larger ones... and cheaper. They're $5.99 each right now up here in Canada... and 2 for dinner fills me up just fine.

Maine lobsters grow to 45pounds. After 7 or 8, though, the meat starts to get tough and loses flavor.

How are you going to cook those bad boys? My favorite is Puerto Nuevo Style, but steamed, or with a vanilla sauce are always welcome. I love cooking live lobster.
