Any suggestions? Wed Aug 19 11:24:29 -0700 2009 1095849 junipero 1 4959973 Bit further than the westside, but I'd try the 99 Ranch Market in Van Nuys.

They were about 1-1/2 lbs & were under $20 each. We had them cook them & then just picked them up & they split them & cracked all the claws too. I don't know what the uncooked ones go for.

I've seen them in Monterey Park this week starting at $5.95/lb. for the smaller Maine lobsters Wed Aug 19 16:55:21 -0700 2009 4959530 11914 monku
