My only experience in that area was 3 weeks in Waltham, learning about
printing presses. The people I knew spent their weekends in Conway NH.
It is where I learned how to ski.
I also attended 2 reserve meetings somewhere in downtown Boston, near
the water. I got sequestered with a half dozen other guys who were
TAD. It was a total waste of time. I did run into one interesting guy
who spent his whole hitch on TAD. He was a road warrior for some big
company. A lot of time he did not even have orders. I asked how he got
away with it and he said they can't hit a moving target. ;-)

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.

Really?

"Maine's lobster catches will likely peak early this year, which could mean an abundance of cheap lobster for consumers and bad news for the state's signature industry, a group of scientists reported on Thursday.
Maine's busy summer lobster fishing season typically picks up around early July, the same time the state's tourism industry gets in gear. But scientists with the Portland-based Gulf of Maine Research Institute predict this year's lobster season will get rolling two or three weeks early.
The scientists, who unveiled their findings during the Maine Fishermen's Forum in Rockport, pinned the early lobster season on warming ocean temperatures. Along Maine's coast, temperatures are 2 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit higher than normal. That means lobsters are likely to move inshore, shed their shells and become more easily trapped earlier this summer, they said.
An early lobster season can disrupt Maine's valuable lobster supply chain, which is partially dependent on big July and August catches, and make prices plummet. Prices at the dock fell 16 percent in 2012, a year of early catches, and prices to consumers fell, too. The 2014 haul shattered state value records because of a high-volume catch that arrived on schedule.

Sounds like the catch is "high volume", but just doesn't coincide with the tourist season. Ah, big business. :)

Besides, Maine lobster is MUCH better than "nad lobster. You should know that.

We were wondering about the lack of lobster pots when we cruised

that their lobster catching season is in the winter, not in summer

Your lobsters, living in colder water, have harder shells and tougher meat.

Maine lobsters have sweeter, more tender meat and are considered superior.

We export millions of dollars of lobsters to France every Christmas and now the Chinese are calling wanting same.
We're expanding the cargo area at our airport to keep up with the demand.
BTW. Did y'all read the comment section? Supposedly some Maritime companies are buying up Maine lobster, canning or packaging and selling it back to y'all all.

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.

I don't think I'd be comfortable eating anything caught in Long Island
Sound, especially bottom dwellers like lobsters. I don't even like
eating them anymore that are caught off the Massachusetts coastline.

Crustaceans are pretty good about filtering out contaminants from the
white meat. It is not like oysters and clams that tend to be exactly
what the mud is like where they live.

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

If y'all want sweet, bake a pecan pie.
Considered "superior" by whom. We had a New York Times food critic down here raving about our lobster. He especially favored the ones off Gabarus, Cape Breton.

Just one example.

"A good friend of mine and fellow Mainer pointed out a great article in the November issue of Portland Monthly magazine in which Gordon Ramsay sings the praises of Maine lobster and bashes restaurants that serve counterfeit Maine lobster (an issue I wrote about in an earlier post). Apparently, Ramsay caught out a New York

I suppose it all depends on what you were raised eating. I can tell
the difference between Maryland (Chesapeake) crabs and Florida crabs,
although they are the same species. The difference is probably water
temperature, to some extent salinity and the hibernation cycle
Maryland crabs have. A Chesapeake crab up around Harry's place never
sees water much above 10 PPT salt and they spend about a third to half
of their life buried in mud. No mud here.
Md crabs are better IMHO.
The Langustinos do have a milder flavor, just like the warm water
crabs so you want to sear them when cooking to caramelize the sugars
that are there and enhance the flavor. This is best done on a very hot
grill. Cook them fast and not too long. Let the carryover heat finish
the job.
Same with Florida crab cakes. This is not a sautee, you want to deep
fry them in 475 degree oil, just for a minute or so.

I can't handle frying crab cakes. We buy awesome crab cakes from
http://www.boxhillpizzeria.com/maryland-crab-cakes/
and cook them on a dab of butter in a 425 degree oven.

SNERK....I'd take the opinion of thousands of French who are renowned for food over one loud potty mouthed Brit.
We export millions of dollars of lobsters to France every Christmas and now the Chinese are calling wanting same.
We're expanding the cargo area at our airport to keep up with the demand.
BTW. Did y'all read the comment section? Supposedly some Maritime companies are buying up Maine lobster, canning or packaging and selling it back to y'all all.
I don't like that practice...it could hurt our stellar reputation for quality products.


Your lobsters are much cheaper. I hear the French are as cheap as the Canadians.

In any case, that's just one example. Maine lobsters are considered superior. Snerk all you like.

Baked crab cakes? Yikes that may be a felony in Maryland ;-)
