Lobster!

[solv3nt]

It's kind of fishing.... A little over an hour in the ocean at night can be rewarding.

Never been, but i watched an episode of "I Shouldn't Be Alive" about it...

Sounds like fun tho.

The smaller ones are slipper lobster, and the other one is a spiny lobster. The slipper is sweet like the Dungeness crab, and the spiny is rich like the Maine lobster.

What is it about the west coast that we don't have lobsters here? Water too cold?

Spent many years off and on all over the east coast, I got sick of lobster, i ate so much! Don't laugh, it's not funny. I do enjoy a good pound and a quarter winter lobster! Honestly, I do miss it!

Good question....The ocean temps in Maine, which is known for cold-water lobster, can get down to about 36*, during the winter. It does however get up to about 65* in the summer. Not sure why we don't have lobsters? Maybe the sea lions ate them all lol

Spiny Lobster are really good...we used to slow poach them in butter using a double boiler or grill them up, when I lived in FL.

Two different critters:
Spiny Lobsters, (Bugs) = Warm water, West Coast.
Maine Lobsters, (Lobstah) = Cold water, East Coast.
Slipper Lobsters = A third type of Critter, but closely related to Spinys.
In my, "diving days", I used to wonder why no one ever tried to introduce the Maine Lobster to the PAC N/W

Fun fact, Hawaii has a place in Kona called NELHA, and basically, they're sucking really cold water up from thousands of feet and are using it to generate electricity. One of the byproducts, a bunch of really cold water, is being used to grow Maine lobsters.

I wonder if Maine knows about this?
Last time in Hawaii we had pen raised White Shrimp.
I'm no connoisseur but it tasted the same to me.
When y'all learn how to clone Spam......
