Speaking of the struggling fish industry, I was walking down Broadway the other day and I couldn't even hail a taxi-crab!

This is a sad story. I hope those hardworking lobstermen will be OK. They're the salt of the earth.

I think anyone who's not flying to an island for their honeymoon or christmas/hannuka celebration should go to canada and eat lobster. Lots of it.

I swear every year brings another challenge for northeastern fishermen. Shortages, prices, competition and now the recession. Let's get it together/

I can't fault them for trying to draw attention to low lobster prices, but what's a person to do? Some people just don't have extra money to spend on what many consider a luxury.

This is confusing, because I keep reading about how "affordable luxuries" (i.e., a nice pair of shoes, as opposed to a Lexus) are still doing well. Lobster seems to fall in that category.

Then why does my corner soup truck charge an extra $1 for lobster bisque compared to his other selections?
