If you love lobster, now is the time to plan a Costco run. Costco recently started selling a giant three-pound lobster claw. To put this in perspective, the average lobster weighs about one to four pounds. Keep in mind that is an entire lobster, not just the claw! However, after doing some Internet research it appears that giant lobsters do exist.
Costco shoppers have recently started sharing photos of the enormous lobster claws available at the retailer. They have been mainly found at the stores in California. So, how much does this gigantic lobster claw cost? One claw looks like it runs around $46, or around $9.99 per pound. Some of the claws that customers have found have even been almost five pounds!
