I literally only buy lobster from a lobsterman or from this place near where my family lives in Maine, otherwise I don't eat it. I don't think it's even snobbery, it's just cultural practice. But if I was going to try frozen lobster, I'd get it wherever and test it out.

By snob I just meant I love it to death and would not eat frozen. Yes for Mainers it's a cultural thing but the rest of us dont have that luxury. Still, frozen lobster tail and fresh lobster that's been flown in that day or two ago are worlds apart.

I've received several great deliveries of live lobsters Maine Lobster Now. They'll fly you live lobsters packed in a box with seaweed.

(Not a snob. I get these lobster boxes as a gift from my dad, who is from New England.)
