   Lobster is expensive because the costs that goes into it are high and it's considered a rare delicacy in many places. Lobster fishing requires a lot of start up capital and a disregard for you and your families well being. Typically do very little sleeping when on board (as with most fishing vessels). Lobster don't multiply exponentionally so quotas are highly regulated. They need an eco system with a lot of other fish in them to get beyond a canner. Lobster licenses themselves cost up around 100k and with a limited quantity of new licenses issued every year can result in bidding wars erupting. Fisheries and oceans officers can seize a whole catch and take your boat for a few undersized females. The fines are outrageous too. Lobster season is also very short. Chinks buy it and inflate the price. Shipping lobster usually requires them to be alive which means in tanks which means calculating and loading the SKU with heavy fucking water going across the ocean and selling at a rate in which everyone is making money.

   I heard somewhere that tarantulas taste like lobster when roasted on a fire. Wouldn't like to eat one though.

    Maybe some of the surcharge is used to guarantee a future for the lobster's children in the form of a monetary trust, for important purposes like attending a crustacean college.
