I plan to boycott lobster rolls until the price is reasonable. As much as I love them I refuse to pay $18.
hard shell lobsters are at 8 dollars a pound and that is what we use in our lobster rolls at the pound. frozen lobster meat and soft shell lobsters are less expensive. i think people just need to decide if they want to spend a few dollars more for fresh, quality lobster meat and no fillers.
