Very important distinction here and glatt is right on. Many lobsters now are farmed in FRESH WATER. They shouldn't even be called lobster. They taste nothing like a lobster from salt water. They are also very common in Australia and taste like nothing more than an overgrown crawfish.

They are also frozen and served at virtually all restaurants, in the US anyway. So unless you see it alive beforehand, don't count on it.

Sorry, but growing u in N.E. and experiencing the best seafood there is, its appalling to me what some call "fresh seafood."
