Review from Trude H.

This is now the only place we will purchase lobster!
Three tails, shelled, for $17. This little storefront is located on East Broadway, one block east of Kingsway. Blink and you will miss it. Little to no signage, look for a photo of a lobster in the window.
Open from 1pm to 5pm Monday to Saturday, Sunday 2 to 4pm, and cash only; but worth it. We bought rib eye steaks at the neighbouring Buy-Low and feasted on home cooking.
Yum! Good lobster! -

I owe my better half a shout for finding Lobsters Only Seafood.
It's very easy to overlook this store while you're driving by. In fact, I've been in the area many times before, but never noticed it. It's worth going out of your regular routine of buying from the grocery store, or eating out at a restaurant. I've spent WAY too much money at the Asian grocery store, even when the lobster goes on sale: $7.99/lb, but the smallest lobster is at least 4 pounds. THEN you bring it home to cook, only to find that the meat shrunk to less than half its size--EPIC FAIL and WASTE of money.
We bought two lobsters from Nova Scotia weighing over 2 pounds each for $43. The manager/owner was amazingly friendly and helpful--someone you would love to come back and visit again. He also gave us cooking tips for the perfect lobster and he did not disappoint. The lobster shell was difficult to crack through with a cracker, so we used a meat tenderizer...great for stress relief as you pound away. A lobster shell that is as hard as a rock is a tell tale sign of a meaty lobster! And I have to say that this was the sweetest, meatiest lobster I've had. I come from a family who eats lobster often enough to make it a breakfast....and let me tell you that it's difficult to get prime lobster. I have no idea why this place isn't as well known because you cannot get better product for the price. Oh well...I guess that just leaves more tasty morsels for me.Listed in: Gourmet on the Fly

This review on behalf of my lovely boyfriend who decided to cook me lobster for my birthday. I didn't actually go, myself.
It was his first time buying or cooking lobster, and he found the fellow (owner?) very friendly and helpful. He gave cooking tips, and if you guess the weight of the lobster you get it free! We may just go back for the Dungeness crab. Very tasty crab/shrimp/lobster cakes too! -

This place is fantastic!!!! Great selection of seafood at reasonable prices. The owner is incredibly helpful with tips for cooking. Also if you guess the wight of your purchase you get it free...I was only .01 of a lb off so he gave me $5 off. I would highly recommend this place...but remember CASH ONLY

Lobsters Only is a tiny store on an apartment block on Broadway East. We fly grade A live lobsters from Nova Scotia every week and have established a trustworthy source of live lobsters for our clients in the past years.
Meet the Manager: Steve P.
It's nice to work in this tiny store, and you can get a lot of work done in the afternoons. Enjoy talking and serving the few noticeable customers, and I love Vancouver and the Neighborhood.
