Fish Markets along Victoria (around 41st area) have decent prices on all fresh seafood.

T&T would be your best bet. Superstore sometimes have some pretty good deals. Dont get it from Save on or Safeway they are a rip off.

t&t has them on sale for 10.99, and thats when they are on sale.

my mom gets them from a friend of hers that delivers seafood to chinese restaurants.

last time, she got 3 1.5lbers for 45bucks

Where is this "anywhere" you speak of.

hirevtuner 01-06-2010 09:54 PM

You seriously never heard of safeway and save on foods? They are everywhere.

Other than that TNT is a good place to buy lobster, there is one in Metrotown and Yohan mall in richmond

The best quality ones are on Granville Island, specifically Lobster Man. The T&T crabs & lobsters are not very good.

Mugen EvOlutioN 01-07-2010 01:19 AM

T&T had them on sale about 10 days ago for $10.99

bought 3 of them, it was yummy and well priced:)

Lobster Man on Granville Island (NOT at the public market)

!SG 01-07-2010 08:50 PM

yeah, heard the lobster man on granville island will probably have the highest quality ones, price wise unsure as T&T will probably beat it on price. but quality, the lobster man.

too_slow 01-08-2010 09:38 AM

The stuff @ the public market are garbage, and insanely overpriced..

Lobster Man and Steveston for sure..

Grandmaster TSE 01-08-2010 01:45 PM

t&t when they're on sale is best bang for your buck

LoL, what? Most, if not all of the public market shops get their shellfish from Lobster Man and the prices are standardized across the board. The prices are fine for the quality. Sure, there are some bad ones in the mix, but it's rare.

...and why Steveston?? That's the last place I'd go to buy lobster.

Bump for an old thread.

I was in the mood for Lobsters and bought a few from Superstore.. they were $6 each and were a bit over a 1lb each.

Looking in this read I found out about Lobsterman and went on their websites..

http://www.lobsterman.com/catalog/13

Atlantic Lobster Quarters 1.25lbs $25.00
Atlantic Lobster Halves 1.50lbs $30.00
Atlantic Lobster Selects 2lbs $35.00

That's an insane price difference.. to those who've had lobsters from there.. is it worth the price premium?

static 05-08-2010 07:44 PM

what 6 bucks per lb?

That is an awesome price !
