Having been in Maine recently, I was rather astonished at how expensive the lobsters are there. I mean, $15 for a pound and a half crustacean in the very place they are found just seemed a bit exorbitant to me. Still, we paid the price because when is the net time you’re going to be in Maine eating lobster? Well, all that aside, I just happened to be browsing over at sister site Luxist and found this post about the most expensive lobster ever. The rather realistic looking solid gold lobster here is made from 1.1-lbs of pure 24-carat gold. It is about 13″ long with a 7″ tall. The big heinous thing is currently on display in a jewelry store in Nagoya Japan and will set you back some $40,000. And my guess is that it does not go well with melted butter.
