Lobster!

My wife's friend has a huge lobster boil every year. They had 10-20 cases flown in from Nova Scotia. I'm not a huge lobster fan but at this boil I learned how to dip in vinegar too and it was pretty good.

This was just leftovers. Crazy!

My God!!!

That had to be expensive!

Never really had quality lobster before so I'm not sure if I like it or not.

 

Tastes like chicken.

My favorite way to have it is plain or in a lobster roll sandwich. No need to drown it in butter.

 

There's a restaurant out here (Monty's) that serves a 22-24 oz tail....

AWESOME!

 

soon lobster will be cheaper than shrimp.

 

Yesterday was the 20th anniversary event.
Man I am STILL full.

Yummola!

I'm sure this has come up in many a conversation with locals privy to the feast, so I'd like to see it from your perspective. Years ago, lobster was shunned by folks with money, and was eaten by the poor. What series of events turned the tide?

 

Marketing couple with supply and demand economics brought on by over-harvesting?? Seems like I remember hearing about some disease that killed a bunch off at one time too but maybe not???

 

I sure hope so!!! Errr... but only if that doesn't simply mean shrimp will be priced out of reach!

 

We used to go to this place when I lived in R.I. www.nordiclodge.com. Back then it was the early 90's it was about 35.00 a person for full buffet with all you can eat lobster prime rib shrimp etc well worth it. By the time your done, I used to manage to eat about 5 lobsters, you don't even want to think about a lobster.

 

Whoa! It's $82 a pop now!

 

I just had some last week in Hong Kong grilled live in front of us 101 stories above the harbor.

Pure heaven!

Grilled live whole? Or do they cut 'em in half first? Never seen a whole lobster grilled before.

 

Sigh, after annual checkups i'm down to enjoying good wine and an occaisonal steak..

 

After I posted I checked the website and couldn't believe how much it had gone up. Thity five to eighty two dollars is quite an increase even over the span of 15 years!

 

Nice you got to see them actually going on the grill to ensure you're not eating rat!

 

I've never had lobster, not sure I'd like it.

I didn't like shrimp, especially the cold one I tried, the warm one I tried weren't appealing either. I've had it in sushi, but you couldn't really taste it.

 

Try crawfish. It will make your tongue slap your ears!

 

Try it. I hate shrimp. Lobster is awesome.

Crawfish boil is a social experience as much as good eating.

 

Try it Puerto Nuevo style. See post #3 for details.

I can remember playing hooky from college, driving down to BajaMar to play a round of golf with a buddy. Afterwards we would stop in Puerto Nuevo for Lobsters and beer.
$15 would buy more lobsters and beer than I could handle.

Good times,good times

Toes in the sand with AYCE lobster (and no sign saying only one please)!

 

I have a severe craving for lobster. I'm eyeing this magazine on my desk.

I need a free weekend to run up to Nordic Lodge , it's at $98 /pp now!

 

I ordered some stuff from them a couple times as gifts. Pretty pricey but the recipients loved it. I think one was a complete lobster boil complete with live lobster, corn, dessert etc.

 

I think I'm one of the few people that likes claws better than tail. Means more for me though!

 

Count me in the same group. I wish you could buy just claw meat but I haven't seen it.
