No way - it's been $5-8/pound this summer, and that's buying live lobsters from the grocery store, not off the boats on the coast where it's cheaper. Of course

No way - it's been $5-8/pound this summer, and that's buying live lobsters from the grocery store, not off the boats on the coast where it's cheaper.
Of course, last year and the year before the prices were historically low; I think I bought hard-shells once for $2.50 a pound.

Last week soft shells were running about $6 per pound at lobster pounds and other local retail sources. They were more like $4 to $5 last year. [EDIT: The $40-ish/lb was for picked lobster meat.]
