Done. Some of my proxies got loose and voted as well.
Do we enter a raffle for some lobster claws and antennae for voting¿
Yes, but I mail them to you 3rd class surface shipping so whether or not you actually win is a matter of perspective.
Welcome to New England, where every beach-side restaurant claims to have the best lobster roll. There's no less than 3 of them on my road, at least the Beach Plum actually has plaques hanging inside from Yankee Magazine.
Liked and voted.

Done. And I'll like it again with my other FB account tomorrow, and see if I can encourage any of my friends in the area to try and check it out.
I haven't been able to vote on it because it says polling is closed. :?
poll's closed :(

If it gets fermented enough i can eat lobster AND get drunk 8)
My god that thing looks delicious
I would eat the shit out of that. I've never had one.
They're sort of a thing up here. Summertime = lobster rolls. They usually run about $13 depending on market rate, but it's such a summer food staple that people eat the hell out of them. I can't because hives, unfortunately. I suffer through doughboys and Del's Lemonade. Oh, the horror.
You eat your shellthings in the summer, eh? We eat a lot of crab here in the winter, usually january-february. Now that I'm saying it I really want some, but it's expensive this time of year and I'm poor.

Different seasons, I think. We definitely pull the sea cockroaches and such out of the water in the winter, but most traps don't go out until the summer, and then you buy them right from the boat before they sell them to the grocery stores MUCH cheaper. They're fun to play with before you throw them into a boiling hot pot of water. I know clams are almost always summer only, because you aren't going in that salt pond for them when it's 20 out. I can't eat any of it, though. I can't even be in the same room as a boiling lobster or I will break out. :( Learned that one the hard way when we had a lobster boil one summer.

Yeah, crab is peaking january-february, and if you get it while it's in season it's cheaper than chicken. Or if you go to the coast and catch your own they're practically free. A friend of mine does that and then boils a bunch and freezes them, it's great.

Yeah, those are our main crab catch down here.
I'd like to try fresh lobster someday, but I doubt I'm going to have the financial wherewithal to go to New England anytime soon. Unless I get sent to a symposium...

Try to make it out here around July, and we'll take you to pick our your own right from the boat. It's really the way to go. Or at the very least we'll see about doing a bake on the beach. If you want good New England clams and lobster, you need to experience a proper bake. I've always had a great time even though I can't eat the shellfish. We'll still fire up a grill with whatever we got. Especially with fresh local corn in in September. OMG.
Now I want a Labor Day Clambake. RIGHT NOW.
