That's why I chuckle when lobsters at "only" $6 or $7 a pound are thought of as a good deal. A few years ago when there was a huge glut of the things, I bought a couple of them. $3.99 a pound sounded like a deal. Spent way too long picking the meat from every nook and cranny I could find. Ended up with about a half pound of meat from 3+ pounds of lobster.How much by weight is bone in an oxtail. They have never seemed like cheap cuts to me.
My opinion might be shaded by the fact that I like scallops better than lobster. And shrimp better than lobster. Or crab better tha...you get the idea.
