A photo taken in mid-January shows lobsters selling for $5.00 per pound

We’re living in difficult economic times right now.  Every day the news features stories about companies downsizing and people losing their jobs.  So why am I featuring a dish that uses an expensive ingredient like lobster?  No, it’s not because I am an insensitive clod. Rather, lobster prices have recently been the lowest we’ve seen in years, meaning that lobster meat may be within reach without having to take out a loan.  It also helps support the lobster industry which has been hit hard by the economic downturn.

If you are able to find affordable lobster meat, this dish is well worth making.  It’s great for entertaining because you can assemble the pot pie in advance and bake it when your guests arrive.  A dish featuring lobster will always impress!
