Yeah..the arrow points to Nova Scotia for those delights.


I suppose Maine does export lobsta to the maratimes.


If only you knew something of value...

Long Island Sound...mostly Connecticut and Rhode Island...had a thriving
lobster industry until the 1990s, when global warming in that body of
water started the critters moving north. There are still lobsters in the
Sound, but not like there used to be. As the waters around Maine warm,
the lobsters will be heading north...to Canada.

Maybe we can send them some langustinos.

When we lived in Puerto Rico my wife got a craving for lobster so we
went to a restaurant known for local catches. What a disappointment.
Scrawny little things with no claws. Yuk.

They are not all scrawny. I suspect they just sell the "shorts" to
tourists. These things can get huge. (10 pounds or more)
Are the claws that great? I assumed it was like the claws on blue
crabs, edible but not as good as the white meat. I really don't have
much experience with cold water lobster.

With a good Maine lobster the claws are the best part - tastiest and
most tender. They're a fair amount of work however.

Can't be much more than a stone crab. The trick is cracking the shell
without making the meat mush.
Out in the boat, we use channel locks or better, big vice grips. ;-)
Nothing better than fresh stone crab claws roasted on the grill.

Blue crabs are even easier, Just smack the top of the joint with that
sawed off broom stick they give you, snap the big claw and the meat
comes out on the small claw like a popcicle.

.. "Channel-locks!" Goof gravy. It looked right when I hit 'post'

It must have flipped in transaction. I have no idea where "cod" came from. Ha!

I have only had one in my life. I picked it out right there on the
wharf in San Francisco for my IBM buddies (at the awards conference).
It was pretty bland. It did not come apart that much different than a
blue crab. All I had was my 110 buck knife.

Not even close to a New England lobster.
