I like Maine lobster.
You may already know this but lobster used to be considered trash fish in Maine. The State penitentiary used to feed them to the inmates many times a week 100+ years ago.
I'm surprised actually, it has a good quality as long as it's from the temperate ocean temperatures.
Canadian lobster is a whole other story. Roughly the same geological location bit completely different.
Lobsters crawl on the sea floor, eat the dead fish refuse that they come across. Back then people were more religious and all about eating fish with fins and scales that were considered clean and can be eaten (bible reference), not "dirty" bottom dwelling crustaceans.
Canadian Lobster and Maine Lobster are essentially the same. The lobster trapping waters are adjacent. The lobsters from southern and pacific waters don't have claws, usually only the tail is eaten (and does not taste as sweet as their cold water Maine/Canadian cousins).
Yeah but did they serve them up with butter or fucking grind the whole thing into a paste?
I don't know about the hot butter, probably not. No, they didn't grind them up, they were freshly steamed and still in the shell. Let the hungry inmates tear them apart if they want to eat any meat.
