Lobsters on the deck

 

Last night Stuey and I had lobsters on the deck with Stuey's namesake Stewart. Earlier in the day Stuey and I had paddled by the floating docks where the lobstermen store the lobsters and the bait for their traps.  We've noticed that in the evening they sell lobsters directly from the 'lobster pens'.  And so yesterday evening we made a trip out there to buy lobster.

I was surprised at how cheep lobster seems these days.  It was 7 dollars a pound for hard shell lobsters - or about 9 dollars a lobster.  So we bought 6 and the guy added some mussels in for free.  He picked them off of the dock mooring ropes.

We cooked them up and had them for dinner on the lower deck.  I love lobsters on the deck because eating lobsters tend to be kinda messy.  We just threw the shells over the railing and onto the beach.  So easy to clean up - the perfect place to eat lobsters!

I gather if you just let the lobster grip you, and don't try and get away, it does not hurt

Still nice to have bands on the claws to keep them from nipping
