   Curious as to the distinction.  Could it be because the lobsters would   
   be shipped live and beef is not live?  If so, could someone import a   
   live steer?   
      
   In seriousness, we once were gifted with a $100 gift card for Maine   
   lobsters from a particular company.  Turned out that the various   
   packages they put together cost up to twice that amount for the most   
   part.  And then they wanted more to ship them from Maine to Maryland   
   than it would cost us to go to a local store and buy equivalent   
   lobsters.  Sort of like ordering from Omaha beef if you know who that   
   is.  It was also true that a web search turned up other Maine companies   
   who had deals costing 1/4 as much.
