Because lobster is a wild resource and prices fluctuate restaurants rarely post prices, instead the menu will say “market price.” This final price is marked up (sometimes 2-3 times) from the amount the restaurant paid their local lobster distributor.

The difference between common lobster and red lobster Unlike the red lobster, it has a smooth carapace and two large front claws, which it uses to attack its prey and defend itself from predators. The two crustaceans also differ in taste, which in the case of the common lobster is less sweet and more pronounced.

Etymology. From Middle English loppestere, lopster, from Old English loppestre (“lobster, spider-like creature”), of uncertain origin. Some believe it to be a corruption of Latin lō̆custa (“grasshopper, locust”) + the Old English feminine agent suffix -estre.

The simplest type of lobster holding tank system is an open or flow-through system. In an open system, water is pumped directly from the ocean into the tanks and then drains back into the ocean. This design consists of two basic elements: tanks for storing lobsters and pumps to circulate water.

Most likely its a demand vs cost thing. lobsters and crabs are relatively easier to keep live in tanks compared to fish (especially saltwater ones). Compared to crabs or shrimp, selling a lobster may be worth the cost of maintaining and running a tank.
