Lobster...Local Food at it's Best

These were alive and kicking just a few minutes before this picture was taken. It feels a bit cruel to throw them in the pot of boiling water...but somehow we get over it.

A delicious meal of lobster and local potatoes, simple yet so good.
The prices have bottomed out on lobster and the lobstermen are struggling, I bought these off of the back of a local losterman's truck down at the gas station. They were $4.50 each, and then he threw in an extra one for $2.00 more, 5 lobsters for $20. We spent that much on two during the summer. I feel badly that these guys are struggling to make a living doing something that has previously reaped large rewards. However it is nice to be able to eat them( the lobsters, not the guys)! They were great last night boiled and served with butter. Tonight we had leftovers-lobster omelets, amazing lobster omelets.
