Unbelievable!! Be interesting to see at what price point they sell them. I'd love to do a side by side comparison.

Interesting read.

Thanks for the post.

Seems like these are the Pacific lobsters

instead of the Atlantic ones we are accustomed to.

Best,

I believe i heard on the radio yesterday that they were calling them Champagne Lobsters. I tell you.... it takes a 'Toban to come up with this.

I wonder how long it will take before they hit the restaurants...

Hog barn raised....hmmm I wonder if hog manure would have anything to do with their "monster size"! NOT a good thought...sorry...

Actually, friends of mine have developed a system to take out 95% of the manure in hog barn sludge sloughs. The result is a grey ash-like odour-free material that is used as fertilizer, and the water extracted can be used for barn cleaning, etc. The experiments are being done on several Hutterite colonies at the moment.

[gus_tatory]

that is one of the most "unbelievable yet true" CBC stories ever.

landlocked (mostly) Manitoba, producing lobster. good luck!

Wow! First they grow pot in Flin Flon and now Lobsters in Winnipeg. I guess if the family ranch goes under they can convert to a lobster farm.

I'd hardly say landlocked - even slightly

We're an entrepreneurial bunch here.

I live in a condo and am not allowed to do anything in my little yard so I'm trying to figure out what to grow in my business. Suggestions are appreciated - keep it legal people!
