Local lobster

It's that time of year again...Lobster time. You can find local fresh live lobster on road sides, seafood markets and even in grocery stores. With a great-weather May 2-4 weekend marking the beginning of summer it's time to start thinking about BBQs and boil-ups. Bidgood's has some great ideas and products for those who love lobster (they even package for shipping if you want to send or bring a treat to the mainland).

There's been talk that low prices for lobster this season have fishermen worried. So it's important to support our local lobster fishermen and buy fresh Newfoundland product. Head out to a market (like in Churchill Sq.) or out to the Overpass by the entrance to Paradise just outside of town (or one of the other many off-highway trucks selling fresh seafood).

So if you're into lobster, 'tis the season. The only way I know to cook lobster is the boil-up way. And if you're also new to this seasonal treat you can find all you need to know at inmammaskitchen.com.
