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.

Sounds like the perfect place for Mrs. Harkle to hawk her wares. $50 jam is chump change for the Hamptonians. LOL!
He could charge $500/lb and it wouldn’t bother me a bit.
I don’t have to buy it.
That’s the beauty of the free market.
Staggering, isn’t it? What a rare treat. The only problem is that, while I’m eating it, I’m thinking to myself “That bite cost me $1.25. Was it worth it?”
If the blue crab meat is on a half pound crab cake sandwich at G&M Restauarant in Linthicum, MD it is worth every penny regardless of cost.
“the Red Horse Market”
Maybe it wasn’t lobster.
Thank you!
Thank you.
ya thats probably true. However another poster said the average income is about $160k. Taxable income and Total income are different thing altogether. A matter of symantics I guess. Regardless, paying a fortune for seafood seems foolish to me.
Hell! I can buy a 2-2.5 pound lobster today at $9.99 per pound. I should go into business in the Hamptons!
But....It TASTES like crab....

I worked at a company in the early 80’s. The product was a step/repeat camera for printing silicon wafers. The initial price was 3X cost. That covered overhead and all else. We were well below the completion. The new CEO doubled the price. We were still well below the competition and the company did well. Should we have held the price down?
that’s very reasonable for all that-
. Should we have held the price down?
No. Get what the market will bear. Like the deli guy should. My hundred percent was a hoped for minimum. No one wanted to get less.
My guess Probably imitation crab which I think is pollock or so e kind of inexpensive readily available fish made to “appear like crabmeat”
I wish I knew how to post a picture here. It is very reasonable and outstanding for an easy dinner.
Very expensive for what you get. A friend sends up a package every Christmas- usual,y has 4 small filet mignon, 4 hamburgers, 6 or so hotdogs, some chicken, and usually a desert 4 of them.
If I recall, the steaks work out to about $25-30 per steak
But you have to remember, the steaks are aged (or so they claim), so that makes them a bit more expensive
I tried to find aged steaks 9nline from other companies, and they were al. About the same high price.
Thr hotdogs were nothing special- kinda bland really. The chicken was okz nothing special (I’d rather have chicken cordon Blu really ), the deserts were good, the filet mignon were good
Overall though, too much money for what you get. The pork chicken and hotdogs were all “meh” in our opinion
The last one that was sent to us, we accidently left the filet mignon package out b3side the freezer- discovered it about 2 weeks later 😥
Fake (seafood) surimi which was a process invented in the late 80’s early 90’s for utilizing undesirable trash fish, like hake. Now, the canneries use fish that cannot otherwise be marketed for one reason or another, like haddock, pollock, or hake.
Its a chemical process. That is, surimi is chemically produced byproduct of fish/fish parts that have no commercial value otherwise.
Bon Appétit!
Blech- no thanks. Lol 😆
Thanks very much. Too bad about your filet mignon.
I know where that place is. Has a great reputation.
We prefer to make our own crab cakes. :)
