Strange, considering lobster is in abundance in Atlantic Canada.
Just to put how ridiculous the prices are in NS in to perspective, there is a restaurant in Shanghai that imports lobster from Atlantic Canada, and is selling a bug for about $15 a plate.

Those are "lobster dinners" for tourists. When I was back in August the best price I saw was a guy selling them out of the back of a truck for $6 each.
