NORTHPORT – Craig Avery calls it one of the best fall lobster seasons in a decade, with prices over $5 per pound, landings steady and fuel prices declining.
The fall lobster fishery is entering its third week and prices, as of midday Monday, are well above last year’s, at $5 per pound for canners and $5.50 per pound for markets, said Avery, the president of the P.E.I. Fishermen’s Association.
“Everything is really in favour of the fishermen,” said Avery. “The demand right now for any good quality lobsters in the live market is strong.”
