lobster, of course! on our way to the beach, a lobsterman sells his catch out of his garage. i've been watching the prices slowly decrease until yesterday when they were rock bottom. so, i stopped and picked up 6 of the lovelies for a late summer feast. this time of year, the lobsters shed their shell and grow a new, larger one. there is a little less meat in a "shedder" as opposed to a hard shell lobster, but it is sweet and succulent; hence, the lower price. at the fish market, cooked lobster is about $35 a pound, usually only claw and knuckle meat. i picked out these 6 and got just over 2 pounds of cooked meat for about $28, which included the bodies as well. i even sucked out the legs, which have only a sliver of meat but oh so good! it's a labor intensive task but for the price, certainly worth the effort. one of the benefits of our coastal locale is the abundance of fresh seafood year round.
