Real lobster only exists in two places in the world: cold water east coast US (Humaris Americanus) and the cold water coast of Brittany (Humarus Vulgaris), the rest are either rock lobsters/salt water crayfish or langoustines. All of which are great, but Maine/Breton lobster holds my heart in a long way.
When I was kid we had a place on Dune Road, and Joe (from Joe's @ shinecock) and Nick (from Tully's) would hook us up with when they were sheduled to come in. My dad would be waiting at the docks when the offloaded and we would have a pot of seawater already boiling for both the lobs and steamers.
I used to clam for a summer job when I was too young for the restaurant and my dad would be splitting little necks as we husked the corn...
Now we do it via Guido's but there lobs are not always the freshest of the fresh... soooo... anybody? great overnight lobs?

Why do all white people eat lobster?
I saw a show about a week ago on some people in the lobster business. Beautiful land... they shipped them out fresh via overnight or 2 day... You could order any size and (I believe) quality you want and it would arrive at your doorstep WITH bibs. lol What a business they have there.
They took orders off a website as well as call ins.

I saw this too. Their prices are actually not bad. They are a company in Canada. I do believe, they only shipped to North America.
I'll find the website for you if you want it.

Yea, beautiful eyes aren't they?
I found the site that was on Food Finds on Food Network. http://www.lobsterdirect.com
Y, you ever use Plusgras Butters? good stuff.
I have a buddy that used to own a place in NY called Gourmet Garage, not even sure if they still exist, been a while... anyway, he turned me on to 'cultured' butters: its a hard thing to define, they are either like cheese that is so high in fat that they are butter or butter that has specific renet/cultures added and treated like soft cheese...
Fantastic? ohhhh yesssss.....

I once took a huge box on United Airlines as a carry-on. The last place you want to "lose your luggage of lobster" is at O' Hare Airport.
We just had 2 to 3 pound monsters last week. $3 a pound
SUCKERS!
hA...I can catch them in the tidal pool every morning as they get trapped when the tide rolls out.

This company is like 500 yards down the road from my house.

They bring the lobster in every morning directly off the ocean and into Biddeford Pool where their lobster house is.

fuk buying sea salt, I want the authentic frothy sea water...Chef, you think you can fedex me a bucket of your frothiest Iceland water?
Lobster fest was a smash: 17 three pounders, clam chowder, mussels and steamers, grilled fingerling potatoes with lots of garlic confit and parsely, grilled sweet corn with chipotle butter, kiddie pools of melted butter (yes Velvet, I was thinking of you) Gewurtz and beers out the wazzoo in a huge galvanized tub of ice.
Rented two candy stoves to get the big steam pots going, cracked the jackets on the talegate of my brothers pickup: backed it right up to the patio, hilarious! Me in a rain parka with silicone gloves and a wooden mallet pulling the red ones out of the steam with one hand, crack and snip with the other.
Good times.

my friend used to fed-ex lobsters to himself at the dorm room (this kids parents were loaded, obviously), and they used to come in a box with a styrofoam cooler packed with the live lobsters, dry ice, and a bunch of seasoning, butter, bibs, etc. we would then bring them down to the dorm kitchen, and cook them ourselves. they were fantastic.
i'm not sure what they cost, but it didn't really matter to him since mommy and daddy were footing the bill. he would do this twice a month, on average.
