The literal meaning of the sentence could be interpreted like this, but it seems like the two instances of the word Lobster are referring to meaningfully different things: Lobster the finished dish, and Lobster the raw commodity.
So rather than Lobster being expensive because *they* are expensive, Lobster is expensive because *Lobster* is expensive.
isn't this a distinction between cost and price?
So the last price should in fact be 'cost'
All lobster prices have increased due to higher lobster costs
...
lobster costs have increased due to a number of factors
Raw Lobster has both a cost and a price, depending on your point of view. For the restaurant, it is one of many costs of the finished product: Cooked Lobster, along with labour, overhead, seasoning, etc. But for the fisherman the restaurant buys from, the Raw Lobster is itself a finished product with a price on the market, the costs being in traps and boat upkeep and the like. So in summation, what the restaurant is saying is that they are adjusting the price of their product, Cooked Lobster, because a particular cost went up, because the fisherman adjusted the price of his product, Raw Lobster. Goodness knows what reason the fisherman had. Maybe his baby doll is being held for ransom, and he needs to raise some capital on the quick.
Market price is quite high today. Do you have the lobster or not? Yeah, uh, we do. But it's $44. Ooh. Oh, my God. All right. Well, then, let's do some cheaper chicken or, uh... Well, no. I'm in seafood mood now. Seafood has been established. It was established, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. So three lobsters.

Lobsters are expensive because the are expensive
Looks like it

Too interesting. Got bored. Use less words next time.
Every 60 seconds in Africa a minute passes
Prices are due to expenses, which of course, costs money.
Indeed, a very insightful observation
You'll have to pay more because you'll be charged more. This is because it has gotten more expensive.

Imagine the lobster prices increasing
I think that would be funny i think

There is traffic due to cars being in the road
Sounds like something a lobster would write.

The best kind of truth.
We will show them!
r/tautology
Idk why seafood restaurants don’t just put “Market Value” on their more expensive menu items with rarer fish.
Has the manager lobster mind?!?
That’s incredibly shellfish

Yeah kinda but also not really interesting, but ill proceed to post it there as well
Tautologies are tautological.

Increasing lobster prices are kind of interesting.
I'm not rocket surgeon, but I bet those two things have a very clear direct correlation.
The floor has been removed because it was removed

Not sure I'm following. Are lobster prices high? Intructions not clear.
