Where to buy lobsters in Somerville/Cambridge/Boston?
I'm gonna be there, and I want to boil lobster at home. Any suggestions? I'll be in the Somerville area, so somewhere there or in Cambridge is preferable, but I could also venture elsewhere if absoulutely necessary.
I remember a place on (I think) Western Ave in Cambridge--anyone know anything about that?
Thanks in advance!

You're probably thinking of Alive and Kicking at 269 Putnam. But if you'll be near Somerville, consider Market Basket. They've been selling them for 3.99 per pound (chicken lobsters).

I was going to say Market basket. New shell Lobsters @ 3.99 a lb.

I usually buy my lobsters from James Hook & Co. on the Waterfront in Boston. They will have just about any size you want. And, they will also have steamers, oysters and just about anything other seafood you might want for your feast.

I do have to get over to Alive and Kicking. I hear great things about them but have never tried their lobsters.
