And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
There's a couple of outfits in Portland that'll ship the lobster to you, live. In fact, they'll ship the lobster and steamers and clam chowder and anything else you want for your clambake. I've used them before, it's overnight on dry ice, and everything got here fine. Treated my neighbors to an old-fashioned New England clam bake!
The seafood industry is weird. For a time I worked for a friend who built a seafood shopping business on central coast of California. We'd ship Cherrystone clams to Washington state (where they are from). We'd ship Salmon to Monterey, CA restaurants that was landed at Monterey. We'd ship Maine lobster to Maine restaurants.
Not just shipping on paper, the actual product. Say, a lobster landed at Portland, ME then shipped to CA then sold to a restaurant in Portland, ME. This was typical, every day.
I spent a summer at a friends in Maine & discovered that lobster from the grocery store (Hannaford) was one heck of a deal, you'd pick it out, they'd steam it while you finished shopping and you were on your way. Turned out I liked lobster.
We infrequently order lobster rolls from ME. Try Maine Lobster Now at Mainelobsternow.com. Free shipping for orders >$150. Also if you like Chesapeake Bay blue crab, check jumbo lump crabmeat at lintonseafood.com. Alternatively check Goldbelly.com. Also, if you enjoy bison, see WildIdeabuffalo.com. Caveat emptor.
When I lived in the D.C. area, I learned that the supply of actual Chesapeake Bay blue crab was too limited to meet he demand. As a result, they shipped in a lot of crab from coastal Texas. If you do get a Maryland crab house that serves only locally caught crabs, you are lucky.
There is a family restaurant that has two family lobster boats that supply it in Kittery Maine. They ship most of their lobster. My only gripe is that all of New England uses little to no spices in their seafood. My daughter lives in Newmarket NH and is about 20 miles away. When the lobster is running it is cheap as ground beef.
I grew up 45 miles from the GA coast and I know how to fry coastal low country fried shrimp. I have cut up a lobster tail in 1"x3" pieces where I fried them low country shrimp style and they were wonderful. A New England Lobster roll? I would rather have a New Orleans Shrimp Po'boy. The spices bring out the sea foods taste.
I never could afford food like that. I think that I had one lobster in my 74 year life.
ReplyDeleteThats funny because way back when it was food for the poors. Look it up. It was literally so abundant and considered bottom level food.
DeleteYup. In the 1930's Maine, inmates were fed lobsters so they can crush the shells to used as a layer when they build roads.
DeleteI kid you not. In Hawaii, we were so poor that we at lobster and crab and shrimp and fish. (that we caught ourselves)
DeleteFrom other foods, we traded what we caught with ranchers for dairy, eggs, veggies and such.
In Maine lobster is cheaper than beef.
