TC, you never had snow crab when you were up heah? And I agree you can't beat a lobster caught in the cold north atlantic. This summer me and a friend went in on a 17 pound lobstah!

lobster ~$145
butter ~$10
custom made lobster bibs ~$20
eating lobster for 2 straight weeks ~ priceless!
 
CRABS!!?? You can eat crabs? Who would have thunk? All I'v heard of is like, MD CrabCakes...I'v neva had'em, crab cakes that is...I have always wonded how they ah.

Lobsta though....I love lobsta like I love cheese. Clam Chowda! Lobsta Chowda! I'm sure chowda is all ova the country, right?

The crappy think about lobsta, is that you have to cook it alive, and that means you really can't ship it. Well you can but it's wicked expensive to ship it.
MMM..my neighbor use to be a lobstamen...too bad he isnt any more...those were the good'ol summas.
 
You can ship lobsta, I send it to my grand parents in florida every year for christmas, just pack them in Ice in one of those cooler boxes, seal up and good to go!

A grocery clerk tried to tell my wife today that only Rhode Island Red's laid brown eggs. So I looked this thread up for her. We LOAO as we read along. To all you who missed it or never knew Gadget it's a good one. Gadget and Laura (and everybody) at their best!
 
well i definately have to agree "brown eggs are local eggs and local eggs are fresh" i have serious problems with those white eggs.


damn that pop stuff it's soda damn it.

don't forget those words that end in an "a" really end in an "r" one of the few times our ah's are pronounced.

I lived on Pleasant Street right across the street from the "ship shop" small marina. Used to catch flounder all day long off the Bass river bridge.
 
I drive over the bass river bridge ever day and everyday theres atleast 2 people fishing, except for about 2 weeks when there was a huge dead racoon in the middle of the walk way and no one came around :lol: Figures the police or animal control came to clean it up.
