I'm a bit cynical I suppose. Nothing new here, except shedders came in early, pounds are full, can't ship until the new shells harden, yada, yada. The market for lobster is as volatile as any other consumable, lots of pressure on the lobstermen and women of course, but really who isn't working harder for less?

The price will come back the uproar will settle down and guys will race their boats around just like they always have.......

The link goes to a fascinating (to some) report about the demographics of the biz.......a take away is this: "it appears as though the household income of the lobster industry is at or above the median incomes for New England and the United States. "

I still see lots of new trucks in the parking lot!
