Do you have a friend with a birthday coming up who already has everything?  Maybe this will fill the bill: fresh Nova Scotia lobster.  (Available to mailing addresses in the ten Canadian provinces only.)

Scrumptious Nova Scotia lobster with shrimp

If you can't make it to Nova Scotia to buy some delicious lobster, don't worry. Now you can just go online and have it delivered to your door.

Sears Canada is selling lobster, provided by Clearwater Seafoods Ltd. in Bedford, on its website.

The complete selection of lobster packages presently available from Sears Canada can be viewed here.  Prices range from $89.99 for Clearwater Lobster and Shrimp for 2 (shown at right) to $499.99 for something called Sears Kitchen Party, which includes ten small lobsters with mussels, tiger shrimp, scallops, smoked salmon, and eating utensils.

List prices do not include shipping charges that vary widely from province to province.  For some reason, it costs more to ship to Manitoba than to Saskatchewan, Alberta, or British Columbia.

Sears does not ship to the three northern territories because fresh delivery cannot be guaranteed.  So, for me, Nova Scotia lobster will have to wait until my next trip to the Far East of Canada.
