During the lobster season, from May to the end of summer, the prices of this product are more affordable, especially in some markets on the French coast.

In "La table des bon vivant" on Saturday on Europe 1, chef Yves Camdeborde delivered two recipes for cooking lobster very easily, without wasting it.

Sometimes overpriced during the holidays, lobster is more affordable between May and the end of summer, in high season.

On the Normandy coast, Cotentin lobster is currently being bought for around 20 to 25 euros per kilo!

In supermarkets, it remains around 45-60 euros per kilo but you can find it at around 30 euros during certain operations.

Beyond these attractive prices, "the raw material is also tastier" these days, explained the columnist of the show

No waste

The chef therefore encourages people to take this opportunity to cook lobster.

And no question of wasting such a good product.

He therefore delivers two recipes for easy-to-make lobster-based dishes, the second using the parts of the animal that were not used in the first recipe.

Ultimately, these dishes should cost you around five euros of lobster per person.
