"good value with lobster begins with seasonality."
"in summer, when the seas are calm and the boats are plentiful, prices drop dramatically, often to half of what you see in winter when supply dwindles."
"almost always have sweeter, more delicate meat,"
Lobster prices vary by season and location. Summer typically produces lower prices because calm seas and plentiful boats increase supply, while winter supply often dwindles and prices rise. Peak seasons differ by species; for example, California spiny lobster has a prime fishing season in winter. Smaller, younger lobsters usually have sweeter, more delicate meat compared with the largest specimens. Always buy whole lobsters fresh rather than frozen and prioritize liveliness as a sign of health. A knowledgeable fishmonger can help select the best lobster and advise on timing and quality.
