Best lobster I ever had was the simplest. Found a nice lobster shack located in one of the northern coves of Nova Scotia, chose a lobster, and was given a huge kettle. Filled the kettle with sea water, and placed it on a fire made of assorted driftwood, and boiled that puppy up. My friend and I each had one large lobster ... yummy!
Another time I went out on a small lobster boat with the owners, a couple of brothers, and spent the better part of the day pulling up lobster traps and sorting the creatures. When work was over, the brothers loaded four big lobsters into a wooden crate, covered them with sea weed, and I took them to the home of a friend where I was staying. Ralph was thrilled and his wife got the preparation in motion. Ralph and I called a mutual friend in California and let him know that we were having fresh lobster for dinner.
Meanwhile, the lobsters escaped from the crate, and started scurrying around the kitchen and into the living room, and found a place to hide. We started searching for them - it was like a Woody Allen movie
Dinner and entertainment was
Great!
