Went on a short drive to our major park on the tip of the peninsula.
While there, at an old beach we played on as kids, I noticed two
fishing boats tending to lobster traps right at the beach & next to one
of our container piers.
The biggest local New Years Day polar bear swim was held at this beach
until 2000 when authorities declared the beach too contaminated with
bacteria to allow swimming...even in January. Now I see them fishing
for lobster... talk about being grossed out!

Don't fret about the polar bear swimmers though, events were held at
three other locations within a few miles of the city center...
at Herring Cove, Portuguese Cove and Lawrencetown Beach.

As scavengers, lobsters eat crap under any and all circumstances anyway.
Still, harvesting lobsters next to a commercial pier seems a
bit...off-putting.


Not only that, we're still building our sewage treatment plant. Now, and
for the last 256 years, we've been dumpimg raw sewage into the same
harbour.


Ahhhh...you're trying to catch up to the USA...

And I was going to go out in a while and buy a couple of lobsters...


How much/pound for 2~2 1/2 pounders out by you Harry?
