The claws are the most tender, and the sweetest part of the lobster. I'll take the claws over the tails anytime, which is why I'm sure you want them. You're not going to get lobster claws for anywhere near what you'd pay for blue crabs, so you might as well plan to pay a hefty premium for them. That said, check out Custy's: <a href="http://www.custys.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.custys.com/</a> I don't know if they ship, but they might be able to hook you up with someone that does.
