Jonesing for lobster salad while out in the Hamptons?
It’s a bisque-y proposition.
Of course, lobster salad is a summertime staple in the land of money-is-no-object.
But at beloved East Hampton delicatessen the Red Horse Market, they’re charging $120 per pound for the delicacy.
Store manager Christian Pineda told The Post he’s only gotten complaints “from some of our customers” about the lobster salad.
Most patrons, though, are willing to shell out big bucks.

Enjoy every bite. lol
LOL... Of course it’s imitation crab...But....It TASTES like crab....
Does not matter, if they don't like the price don't buy it.
Dealt with the same pricing issue with salmon in Seattle. The same salmon in Seattle was $28 per pound compared to $15 per pound in Maine.
Not ‘out east’ in season the lobster was likely in the water 48 hours earlier. And $120 is and has been the going rate give or take 10 bucks for five years. A lobster roll with 1/3 pound of lobster goes for 39 bucks in a South Fork or North Fork eatery.
he owns it ... he can charge whatever he wants ... unless you don’t believe in private property ...
“And while lobster is a pain to get out of it’s armor it is not as bad as crab.”

A pound of blue crab meat has gotten very expensive.
The uber wealthy have accountants to work the tax system to make it appear they make almost nothing at tax time. Measured by net worth, I'd bet Hamptonites are mostly well above the top 1%. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
lets face it....its those that have vs those who have not and the have nots are gaining exponentially....
Yes, special occasion. Usually it’s Chuck steak
Good for you.
Do you know anything about Omaha Steaks? They have commercials on TV and seem to have good prices for what you get. I’ve never known of anyone who purchased from them.
“.. unless you don’t believe in private property ...“
What is the matter with some of you people? I worked in his business. There is a marketplace. There are normal standards followed. There are general customer attitudes and expectations. That’s all I’m talking about. Where the hell does constitutional questions of private property come into it?
I’ve heard of them,yes. We had a guy who use to come around town selling package frozen meats. Bought from them a couple time.
Don’t. My stepsister used to send me a box every Christmas. I was never impressed and thought she was wasting her money. There’s way too much packaging, and not much product.
Thank you, ma’am.
I wasn’t planning on ordering any but was curious. Now I won’t order any.
$9/lb. Let's put together a truckload order.
If he decides to set his price too high he’ll have a hard time staying in business ... that’s his, and only his, choice ... nobody is forced to pay his price ...
I bought a lobster roll in CT a year ago. $40!
I have used them. Good quality but very expensive!
