Maine Lobster – how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…
Lobster is a delicious nutritious seafood. And Maine’s lobster is the best…
Why? Maine Lobster is the most tender, not tough, not too salty… or chewy…
Because Maine Lobster comes from our cold Atlantic waters, it makes the Maine lobster meat taste sweeter than warm water lobster – spiny tail lobster tends to be chewier. Also cold Maine water keeps the meat from absorbing the salt from the ocean.
Maine Lobster can be enjoyed year round! Lobster fishermen haul lobster in all seasons…
Maine Lobster is called Homarus Americanus, you can’t get much more American than that!
