    Living in Portland Maine myself, I actually rarely eat lobster out due to the prices. I'm apart of this Facebook group with local fishermen that sell their seafood directly to consumers at $4.99-$5.99/lb without buying from a market. Making your own lobster rolls are so much more satisfying without breaking the wallet. You can also make so much more than just lobster rolls. We just made lobster mac and cheese this week. I think poké bowls with lobster meat is next for us to try!

      I have some distant relatives that work on a lobster boat. They supplied the lobster for a family reunion up there. Anyhow, I can’t put a lobster in boiling water and then eat it. Not yet, anyhow.

      You would think lobster would be cheaper in Maine but I guess it's controlled by the lobster cartel. Here in Los Angeles restaurants are charging as much as $34 /lb.
      I am thinking if you travel to Portland and stay at an Airbnb you can buy from the fishermen and cook it yourself, saving a ton of money.

But I didn’t try another one at another place since it was already soooo expensive, anyways I can’t wait to go back and try it at these other places ! I’m glad you guys made this video :)!

      Lobster rolls go back to the days lobsters were cheap. Later seafood stores made them to use up excess lobsters. You can do the same with any fish. These days fish is too expensive to add mayo and stick it in a roll. Maybe I’d do it with leftovers.

    I like to go to bar harbor instead of Portland because they still have a lot of lobster, just more close to where live.
