Lobster tails??? Surely you gest!
That's Florida lobsters you're talking about.
Lobsters are still around $5.99 a pound more or less. You get the whole thing.
You can get them already cooked at a number of places. Clear meat is around $35.00 a pound.( a pound is a lot of meat!)
Lobsters are only at their best, freshly cooked from the pot, with a big dish of melted butter! Served with a dish of fresh steamed clams and broth and fresh steamed native corn on the cob. You'd be hard pressed to find a better dinner anywhere else on the planet!

As I've mentioned, Florida tails are nothing like the "real thing, baby". Disgusting, in fact. I'm not sure I'd ever go for / spring for the 'clear meat' deal at $35 bucks a pound. Phew! That's a hard pill to swallow. IMHO, if you're willing to pay the price (as a visitor), just sit down -fork out the CC - roll up your shirt sleeves and do it, down and dirty!
Support your local fisherman and merchant!
RIGHT ON? |

You bet Mermaid! The native corn is in soon(early is here but I like the later stuff) and that's when the lobsters are at their best for the summer in my humble, yet always correct, opinion!
We're looking forward to a big feed soon with all the fixins' and a big blueberry cake for dessert. Maine ....what a place!
August is my favorite summer month! |

Grab corn while you can. The rain is causing serious problems for farmers. I don't think my corn is pollinating properly this year.

That may be true! The corn I have had so far has been pretty tough. Early corn sometimes is though this corn was like the stuff Hannafords has from Chile in the winter.
