best lobster roll on the lake

FatboyNH...

Lobster fishermen pay nothing for the lobster they catch, except for the incidental costs your not factoring in, like those itemized by SAMIAM. How does the price go from 0 to $7-8/#?

It's the costs of getting it from sea to roll with all the fixin's and a small profit for those who are into this for... a small profit.

Like to make your own? Some poeple like celery in theirs. Ever try to buy one stock of celery? How about one hot dog roll? or two? or three?

Any restaurant owners out there making a 30% profit on their rolls? Doubt it. I'm not seeing many Lamborghinis in their parking lots.

And how do you feel paying $10.95 for spaghetti? I saw a whole 1# box in the market recenly for $0.79, plus the cost of sauce of course...a little Parmesian or Romano?

Gettin' hungry!

If there is one thing I don't think anyone can accuse Samiam of, it is gouging. He has some of the best prices around at his restaurant!
