In Portland, Maine, lobster fishing is as old as the town itself. The catch here sometimes has bad years too but for this year, the problem is not with finding the catch but with the prices of the lobsters that are hitting rock bottom.
Because of the drop down prices, many lobster fishers such as Mr. Bradbury are looking for different and creative ways to sell their catch and he had turned to Craigslist. This guy is selling live Maine lobsters on his ads for as low as $3.50 to $5 per pound and he guarantees that lobsters will reach u live and fresh off his good ol’ boat.
Mr. Bradbury did not just post on Craigslist, he also posted on local magazines and even tried selling the lobsters in the downtown area of Maine at the back of his car and just calling all passersby for some lobsters.
His posts on Craigslist get good response from outside of Maine but this does not interest him as he doesn’t want to have the hassle of shipping his caught lobsters.
I live in Iowa and interested to buy the Lobster. Need to know, what is cost for shipping & handling?
I live in Nova Scotia,Canada and i live in a fishing community, my father owns a lobster fishing boat and i was thinking of getting lobsters from him and seliing them for a decent price to the US. If your interested in buying a bunch or know of anyone else oe any restaurants please let me know. I would drive them over myself and they will still be alive when they got to you. Thanks.
