I'll give my brother a call this evening and see if he knows who caught this thing. He's a lobsterman out of Rockland, Maine. If it was caught "last week", it could have only been by one of a very small number of boats. The guys who are actively fishing at this time of year are few and far between. If I had to guess, I'd bet it was taken during the regular season, and stashed away until the winter price per pound was at its highest.

BTW, lobs of this size aren't as rare as you might think. They just aren't publisized, but sold for megabucks to a select few who have standing orders for them.

Does he know how to ship lobsters to Japan so they arrive edible?
