Live Homard in Paris - Where and how much?

[deadstroke86]

Hi all,

Could the Parisians here please advise on where could I find a good poissonnerie in Paris where I can find very fresh homard. If possible I would also like to know around how much are they going for.

I've tried google to not much avail. As far as I know, online vendors are selling at around 50E/kg but how about the fishmongers?

If it is any help I plan to stay around 75018 but am willing to travel far for quality/price.

Often the poissonneries do not have one in their aquarium, but you can order one in advance for a given date. You can inquire and ask about the price, then order.
I suggest you inquire with your local poissonnerie instead of schlepping cross town for something you can get closer to home. -- Where do you live?
Our local poissonnerie, Poissonnerie Bleue on 5 rue des Martyrs, always has one or two in its aquarium.
40 euro/kilo is considerd a good price for homard breton.

You are in luck. In the summer the lobster price comes down. Fantasize away. :-)
