AndyPanda Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 There has been an over-abundance of lobster the last two years, due to warming waters, and a vastly huge inventory of turkeys this year, due to lockdowns. Yet the prices for both here have risen beyond reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hmmm- good bait. I could catch a 400 lb Marlin with one of those suckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what ranchers face when the price of beef on the hoof drops, but the "middle" people don´t come down on their prices, prices then to the consumer don´t reflect it.

#HarryB Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Several years back I took my wife to Red Lobster in Guad for her birthday and an over one pound lobster was well over $100 us. Depends on what you want and are willing to pay,no? 4 Over one pounders for $100 seems a good deal to me. I'll check the fishmonger in Ajijic on the carretera just west of Colon . His stuff is usually great and he carries flounder. my wife will benefit by getting her favorite lobster. She prefers live though. Please stop thinking in US and think in pesos.

happyjillin Posted December 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 The regularly available lobster tails I saw at Pacifico in SAT where maybe not even half the size of those in my OP so I didn't bother going there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#HarryB Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 we never go to Pacifico. Their stuff gets old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why COSTCO, Walmart and others would not have cheap turkeys in Mexico. Much beef is exported to Mexico so why would turkeys not be also.

Tingting Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 OK...this is the second drool post that Pedro has made. I PROTEST!!! (mainly because my cooking skills are of the "Easy Bake Oven" level and I would take these delectable tails and turn them into something that would make a crematorium envious) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whipstock Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Mr Bull is now stocking lobster tails at 1026p/Kg, so just over $23 USD/LB. After seeing these photos, I needed to get some too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted January 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 1 hour ago, Upfront said: no idea what kind of delivery trail adds to the price but right now this week up north prices are as low as 5.99 a pound making that about 12 a kilo. these are not wholesale https://fishmanmkt.com/pages/market-prices And in Mass. And you ain't gonna get live Atlantic lobster here nor dead ones either. The tails we get here are from a different species entirely that has no claws and they only have to travel from our coast where they are flash frozen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the biggest bang for the buck is buying tails and not whole lobsters. Perhaps you should get a local commission on lobster sales for starting this thread HJ? 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Without those big, tender and tasty claws, they aren't "Lobster". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I don't want to loose Boca Mar on Jaurez,Chapala. Please support them. I got excellent pulpo a while ago and yesterday we got HUGE whole shrimp[only 4 each was enough] like you would get off the dock in Mazatlan. Biggest that I've seen here and absolutely delish! They will also cook a lunch for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Agreed, we recently ordered their Flounder Fillet..Perfect. Also have had 2 large orders of their coconut shrimp for parties, huge amounts and all were all eaten and highly praised..Always a great selection of fresh fish, they will cook/fry your selection and deliver.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
