seafood sale @ work?

[spikerS]

So i guess there is a seafood sale going through my work right now, and I am debating on buying some. Thing is I don't know a damn thing about seafood, but I know I love bacon wrapped scallops.

so, is 5lbs of scallops worth $70? or is that too high?

wow cheap prices for everything, 12 lobsters for 110 bucks?

usually a 5 pound bag cost like 50-60 bucks i think remembering from my high school days of working in sushi boat.

Call Billingsgate and inquiry about how much scallops are to compare.

They are not bad. You can get them for around the same price sometimes. How big are the lobsters? They go for like 15-20 bucks a lb. I buy them when they are like 7 bucks a lb.
12 lobsters are quite a bit though. They don't live for too long so you have to eat them right away.

I don't see live scallops here too often. So they are frozen with or without the shell?

LIVE Lobsters: Sold in dozen quantities ONLY. If you only want half a dozen, find someone to split a
dozen with. Save money and time by buying the CAPTAIN’S PARTY PACK, 36 lobsters in a sealed box.
Split them up when you get home and you don’t need a cooler for them! The lobsters are large canner size,
which are the best for eating, approximate size is around .80 -.90 of a pound each.

Recommended to cook them the day received. Although I cannot guarantee quality after the delivery day,
many people report no issues with cooking them the following day PROVIDING you do NOT disturb the
lobsters and keep them cool and damp as shipped. Ideally leave them in the box they are shipped in! Do
NOT put lobsters in fresh water (kills them)! Product of Cape Breton fisheries regions, NS.

<1lb lobsters are puny, the meat would be bite size. I prefer 2-3lbs. I bought a 10lb big boy one time, what a bitch to crack the claw, I thought I was gonna make a hole on my floor.

Those prices are not a deal at all, you can get the same canner lobsters for 6.99 at superstore 6.99x 12= 83.88...

The tins of lobster meat are somewhere around 15-20 dollars at ss as well but I'm not sure if its the same size or larger, the prices of mussels at ss are at 4.98 lb x 5 = 24.9 which is also cheaper as well.
