Boston

Just got back from spending the weekend visiting a mate in Boston. Top trip. Flights courtesy of Virgin Atlantic, lobster courtesy of the Durgin Park.

Why is it you can find a price for a steak but a lobster is always market price? Is the cost really that supply/demand sensitive?
 
Heh. Shouldn't that be "market price plus enormous mark-up"?

We would have to rule Chrish out as a potential business partner based upon the time-honoured 'don't get high on your own supply' principle...
