Time to feast on Lobster Funky & Music
YARMOUTH, N.S.—A major haul of lobster off southwestern Nova Scotia has driven down the price to $3 per pound.
The local lobster season opened Tuesday and boats unloaded their first catches Wednesday.
Prices started off at $3.25 and fell as the week went on.
Geoff Irvine of the Lobster Council of Canada says buyers haven’t seen this much lobster on the market before.
He says there are “record landings everywhere.”
Southwestern Nova Scotia—from Cole Harbour, down along the south shore and around Yarmouth to Digby – is divided into two lobster fishing areas known as areas 33 and 34.
Last year those two areas with some 1,700 lobster boats landed more than 50 million pounds of lobster.
Irvine says that’s more than 40 per cent of overall Canadian lobster landings of 125 million pounds.
