Lobster salad at the Red Horse Market in East Hampton, New York, now costs $129.99 per pound [1].
The price hike highlights the extreme cost of luxury dining in high-end seasonal destinations. As a classic maritime dish, the salad serves as a benchmark for the premium pricing found in the Hamptons during the summer peak.
The current price of $129.99 [1] represents an increase of nearly eight percent [1] from the previous cost of $120 per pound [1]. This earlier price point had previously gained viral attention for its high cost.
Red Horse Market continues to sell the dish as a specialty item in the East Hampton area [1]. While the specific reasons for the price adjustment were not provided, the increase follows a trend of rising costs for luxury seafood preparations.
Customers in the region often encounter such pricing during the holiday period. The salad remains one of the most expensive deli items in the local market, reflecting the demand for high-end ingredients in the New York luxury corridor [1].

The price increase at Red Horse Market illustrates the inelastic demand for luxury goods in affluent summer resorts. When a product can rise from $120 to nearly $130 per pound without a loss in visibility or demand, it signals a market where status and exclusivity outweigh standard price sensitivities.
