Lobster now less expensive than hot dogs

The article did not go far enough about why the demand is so low.

Could it be because of the terribly high prices and the very small servings that many of the restaurants charge for lobster?

I, for one, was quite discouraged when we ordered lobster, paid a very high price and got what appeared to be just a very large shrimp.

I feel, that in some cases, the demand is down because people are sick of being ripped off by lobster so they no longer order it. At least that is why I don't any more.
