You’re correct about supply & demand driving the price, but I’m not sure of your assumption that every lobster served in NJ comes from NJ waters. Since lobsters harvests in NJ are a fraction of what they are in the waters off New England, this would seem illogical, especially considering the number or restaurants in NJ.

To Respond or to View the Question with all answers, Click Here Most Recent Answer Submitted By Ernest on May 23, 2013
Tim, I'm not too sure about your logic, or Gus's analysis of cold waters. If you live in Maine, then your "theory" is logical, but if you live in NJ it does not. The lobsters caught off of our coast are delivered much faster to local restaurants than those shipped from Maine. For you see, all of the NJ boats retreive their catch daily and are delivered to holding tanks within 24 hours. Gus, the optimum depth that all North Atlantic lobsters are caught/trapped is within 125' to 150', which is well below the thermocline. If you're at 125' in Maine or NJ, the temperature is about the same. The answer really is supply and demand -- It's what makes the free world economy turn!

Probably I guess. The family themselves probably would have maybe gone out of business eventually any way with Acme getting the long awaited new store in the not too distant future. Good thing Murphys is still around and looked very nice when I went inside it after it opened back up. Can't wait to see what the new Acme will be like also. Pretty weird not seeing the movie theater not being there anymore though.

Can people please stop using this forum to whine and moan about Sandy. We get it, there was damage to homes and businesses but that has happened to people all over the area, not just LBI. These things happen and they are not the end of the world, so please get over yourselves. LBI is not the center of the universe, and its residents and business owners are not the most beleaguered people on the planet. Sorry, just venting.....as well as speaking for a whole lot of other folks.

To Respond or to View the Question with all answers, Click Here Most Recent Answer Submitted By Tim on May 23, 2013
It’s not a matter of quality, but quantity. Since Maine has a very rocky coast, lobsters are in a far greater abundance than in mid-Atlantic states, which generally have a sandy coast. Thus, the majority of lobsters served in east coast restaurants come from Maine waters. The reason that lobster ‘usually’ tastes better in Maine is because the time from sea to pot is much less, and therefore, the lobster is fresher. However, you can still get a very good lobster in NJ (even at inland restaurants), but you’ll have to pay for it since the restaurant has to go to extra lengths to get the lobster shipped in premium time. For example; I know of little roadside restaurants in Maine where you can get a 1 ½ lb lobster meal, complete with fries and cole slaw for $14.95. You won’t find that kind of deal in NJ.

That's the article I found and posted it in that thread too. It truly is sad what happened and feel so bad their store got so heavily damaged. At least they will hopefully sell it to someone who will keep it/turn it back into another supermarket if they don't eventually reopen it themselves if there are no buyers. Or so I hope! It's a bummer they won't be around at least this year or possibly ever again even if the new possible owners keep it one that we will get in the future. Glad we at least got Acme and Murphys back though.

Chris - you posted that you found this article - but you posted in the other thread! Here is the piece:
DeFiglio Family Talks About GreatValu Store Listing For Sale
A “for sale” sign on a longstanding business stands out when it’s seen on a drive along Long Beach Boulevard, so this week’s column begins with a conversation with the DeFiglio family about future options for the grocery in Ship Bottom, which was heavily damaged by Superstorm Sandy.
The property is listed for sale by real estate agent Sean Adams of RE/MAX at Barnegat Bay. Third-generation store operator Anthony DeFiglio granted our request to give insight into the decision. He sent the following message:
“If you’ve been coming down here for a while, you might remember when DeFiglio’s Market was known as an IGA. If you have been here a long time, you remember the days when we were a Foodtown, which my grandfather built in 1972. And if you are lucky enough to have spent a long life with ties to Ship Bottom, you might remember Mills Market, a small general store that Charles S. DeFiglio bought and ran as a seasonal store in the early 1960s.
“We have been here a long time, and have been an important part of the community through all the changes. Lately, we’ve been reminded that the changes don’t stop, even if we wish they would.
“As is the case for most of us, dealing with the insurance companies is proving to be difficult and time-consuming, with an uncertain outcome. It is possible that there will not be time to get this resolved in order for us to rebuild and open for the coming season. Bearing this all in mind, we have listed the property in an effort to keep open as many options as possible.
“It would be sad not to be here. It would be sad not to be doing what we have done for 50 years: serving the community, our friends and neighbors, our valued customers. There has been interest from several different parties, with different ideas of what would be a good business for the space. It is important for us to find someone who has the resources to rebuild in a manner that benefits the community, cares deeply about the community, and provides a service that is needed. I have to do what is best for my family, but I also want to do what’s best for the community.
“If our market ends up in different hands, we will always have our memories and be eternally grateful to our customers who supported us all these years.”

My feeling is it will be vacant for a while - sounds like they are in no rush to sell it. (so much for my reliable source of my previous post - sorry all)

That would be great if a new restaurant will be built in Tuckers place even if it sadly won't be the same. Better that then condos or whatever being built there. Sandy really did drastically change things a lot, and that goes for the whole Jersey Shore in general not just LBI.

Too bad that Stutz will be gone and it was a great place to go to for candy and whatever they sold. Wonder which restaurant will eventually take it's place and when they'll knock it down?

just checking, because I've never seen very many cars at the one on the island either.
You mentioned that Stutz was sold. Do you know what is going in that location?

I thought Seaglass was clear - "on Route 72 West". That would be the off-island location.

I stand corrected... Tucker's will not be torn down for condos. I called the information phone number on the banner they have displayed. The person I spoke to said he was a family member of the owner. I was told they are closed and looking for a buyer to preferably keep it a restaurant. My feeling is it will be vacant for a while - sounds like they are in no rush to sell it. (so much for my reliable source of my previous post - sorry all)

The BH 7-11 is completely gutted. That said, seen or heard nothing about its return or demise. The fact that nothing has been done to rebuild does not bode well.

Hi friends of A Summer Place. I am the former owner of the shop in Beach Haven across from the old Nola's Diner. We had the big "A Summer Place" sign in front of the store and sold the classic T-shirts. I am living in Salt lake City and due to the overwhelming response to bring back the shirts, we just printed our first order and they will be for sale along with my LBI watercolor prints in about 3 weeks. Keep you posted. Love to hear from you if you have any interest in the shirts nancychiesaslc@yahoo.com

Contact the Beach Haven Library or the town itself for more details. I do not want to publish private details about the people running this here.
Beach Haven Public Library

Beach Haven Borough Office:
Phone: (609) 492-0111
Beach Haven Beach Planting Project
One of the lessons learned from Hurricane Sandy’s oceanfront dune damage is that those street ends with significant native vegetation had minimal dune loss. (e.g. Third, Ocean and Berkley avenues)
A group of concerned Beach Haven residents is forming to volunteer their time and money to purchase, plant and water native vegetation such as bayberry, beach plumb, rugosa rose and, later in the Fall, dune grass on all street ends throughout the Borough.
We need your help!
• First, we have raise the funds to purchase the plants, humus and peat moss to facilitate the Spring planting of shrubs which must be completed by June 1st.
• Second, we need volunteers to do the planting and subsequently water the plants to insure that they grow during the summer.
• Third, we plan to have a massive dune grass planting on Saturday, October 12th throughout the Borough.
Although this is an ad hoc group, we especially need to have “Street Captains” to recruit people from each street to help with the fund raising, planting and watering of their respective dunes.
If you can volunteer with this Beach Planting Project in any way, please sign up at the Beach Haven Library

Not to belabor the point, but you guys really do not understand what primary residence means. I was stripped of my voting registration at my LBI house (and correctly so) at a hearing with the State Board of Elections. I then returned my tax filing to LBI, reobtained my NJ DL license and - miracle of miracles - reapplied for my voters registration and it was reinstated. I still live in my LBI home less than 6 months a year but it is my "primary" residence because I elect it to be. It was at my hearing that I learned their criteria for being domiciled in any particular residence in NJ. Been there, done that.
