Have a lobster dinner tomorrow night!

Lobster is considered a celebration food -- a feel-good food -- and right now people don't have a lot to celebrate," says Tourkistas.

Of course you don't need a Ph.D. in economics to know what happens when supply is up and demand is way down. The wholesale or "boat" price of lobsters has crashed from a peak price of about $10 a pound in the winter of 2006 -- average prices in recent years have hovered around $4.50 a pound -- to a mere $2.25 today. "We're basically off the charts historically in terms of low prices for this time of year," says John Sackton, a Lexington, Mass.-based seafood industry consultant.

Just had one last weekend. Took my gf out to dinner at the NJ shore. We got a "Clam bake for two" which consisted of two whole lobsters, king crab legs, shrimp, scalops, clams, mussels, and veggies. Only $90 +tax/tip

Love me some lobster!
