Two years ago, a Long Island deli shocked the country by selling a $120-per-pound lobster salad<\/a> \u2014 and the price has only gone up since.<\/p>\n

The upscale Red Horse Market, located in the ultra-wealthy enclave of East Hampton, New York, is now charging even more for the luxury item.<\/p>\n

In 2024, a photo of the deli case showed a heaping tray of lobster salad nestled among other prepared foods<\/a> \u2014 and the jaw-dropping $120-per-pound price tag. Today, that same lobster salad is listed at $129.99 per pound, photos reveal.<\/p>\n

This marks an increase of nearly 8% from the price that sparked national headlines.<\/p>\n

Lobster rolls, a summer favorite on the East Coast, are rarely cheap and often sell for $25 to $40 or more, depending on the location.<\/p>\n

At Red Horse Market’s current price, enough lobster salad to fill a generously stuffed roll \u2014 about 4 to 6 ounces \u2014 would cost about $32 to $49 before the bun and other fixings.<\/p>\n

In 2024, store manager Christian Pineda told the New York Post<\/a> he had received complaints from only “some of our customers” over the price.<\/p>\n

“It’s because of the quality we’ve got to charge these prices,” Pineda said at the time.<\/p>\n

“For our customers, they’re primarily focused on quality. The local quality is what they want, especially with our meats and seafoods<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

At the time, Reddit users were quick to mock the eye-popping price tag.<\/p>\n

“For that price, they need to make it for you fresh!” one person said. “I’m gonna pay $120 a pound for something that’s sitting out like that??”<\/p>\n

“They need to go out and catch a fresh lobster for that price,” another Redditor chimed in.<\/p>\n

A third user wrote, “I wouldn’t pay $120\/lb for lobster meat alone … no way am I paying $120 for the added mayo and whatever else gets tossed in.”<\/p>\n

Others were unsurprised by the price tag, especially for the area.<\/p>\n

“I don’t keep up on the price of lobster, but generally the Red Horse Market is one of the more reasonably priced places for lunch<\/a>,” one Long Islander said. “I am saying this as a tradesman.”<\/p>\n

“Honestly, I kinda wanna try it,” another said. “I probably would have gotten half a pound to taste.”<\/p>\n
