Factors Affecting Lobster Prices
Lobster prices fluctuate due to various factors, such as:
- Origin & Source: Imported lobsters from the U.S., Canada, or Australia are typically more expensive than domestic lobsters due to transportation costs and import taxes. Premium lobsters like Alaskan and Canadian lobsters often have higher prices due to their harvesting and handling processes.
- Size & Quality: Larger, healthier lobsters with superior meat quality fetch higher prices. Live lobsters are generally more valuable than frozen ones due to their freshness.
- Purchase Timing: During lobster harvesting seasons, prices tend to drop due to abundant supply. Conversely, in off-seasons when lobsters are scarce, prices may rise.
- Market Demand & Consumer Trends: When demand from restaurants, hotels, and F&B businesses surges, lobster prices often increase.
Tips for Choosing High-Quality Lobster
Beyond pricing, selecting high-quality lobsters is crucial. Here are some expert tips to help you pick fresh and delicious lobsters with ease:
- Check the color: High-quality lobsters usually have vibrant shells with no dullness or discoloration. For example, spiny lobsters often have deep red-orange shells.
- Examine shell firmness: A fresh lobster should have a hard shell without any cracks or softness. A soft shell may indicate a dead or low-quality lobster.
- Assess movement & activity: Live lobsters should be highly active and respond quickly when touched. If a lobster is sluggish or unresponsive, it may no longer be fresh.
- Smell test: Fresh lobsters have a mild, natural sea aroma. If you detect any foul or unusual odors, the lobster may be spoiled or not fresh.
- Buy from reputable suppliers: Choose trusted seafood markets, stores, or suppliers with strict storage and transportation processes to ensure freshness.
