Son and I went grocery shopping yesterday, at Marketplace Foods,they had a display of a food product my family and I haven't had for over 20 years. So as our scrap aluminum money, we bought LOBSTER TAILS.Wife doesn't like em, but my son and I do. Wish I had more scrap aluminum cans.lol. Real good thing I don't live in Maine, I would be waiting for the boats to come to port.I knew a guy that married a gal from Nova Scotia,who had to have a green card for work here in the U.S. Her father ran a lobster line and my friend was telling how good they tasted when he went there on vacation. Fresh from sea water, I bet they did. Now whats the longest (expensive food) that you craved but couldn't afford? Just curious,
Regards, LOU
 
Well, I DO live in Maine, right in the heart of lobstering country (on the coast, east of Bar Harbor).

Believe it or not, you CAN get tired of lobster. A year ago this past July, they had a massive surge in catches, and for a couple of months, lobster was cheaper than bologna. The Big Boys wanted to stop fishing until prices recovered, the Little Guys with boat payments to make were fishing their butt off while the fishing was good. Fights broke out. Shots were fired. Boats got burned. People got hurt.

And I ate lobster three times a week...

I worked in Portsmouth NH for almost a year. I never got tired of fresh lobster and seafood. Much cheaper to buy too. Coming back to Michigan where Red Lobster is your only choice isn"t quite the same!

A couple times a year I will buy lobster tail from the store, but its so expensive.

Paul the best lobster I ever had was at a dump called Maine's Best in Waterville Maine. I had steak and tail. It was $17 back in 1976!
 
Neighbors daughter used to work in a restaurant in Portland, and she would get lobster right off the boat and ship it to us. Shipping cost more than the lobster did, but man was it good. Lots of times they'd throw in some mussels too.

Fawteen, where in Maine? We were up there a couple of years ago (and a couple of years before that). Love the Maine coast. I'm not a lobster fan but the wife would eat all she could get. She'd move to New England in a heart beat if we could (at least for the summers) and Maine is her favorite place of all of it.
