Bizarrely the lobster was the same price per pound as I pay in Victoria for East Coast lobster - was hoping for at least a 30% discount!

I have only lived in Saint John for 2 years (Have lived in Ontario, NS, Alberta) and always had a low opinion of SJ prior to moving here. But this was primarily due to its reputation. From what I have been told, SJ has turned itself around int he last 5-10 years, prior to that, it was a common site to see boarded up windows everywhere.
And the only way to get a nice discount on lobsters are having fishing friends, or buying some fresh from a seller on the side of the road.
