We had lobsters at Red Lobster a few months back and much to my surprise, they were pretty good.

An interesting story about lobster. My father spent much of his childhood in the Moncton, New Brunswick area. This was back in the late 20s and early 30s. He said that he was often embarrassed because the the well off kids had sandwiches with different kind of meat in them. The poor kids, like him, went to school with lobster sandwiches.
Lobster was so abundant in the Bay of Fundy that it was considered a nuisance fish. It would get caught in the nets of the fishermen trying to catch, cod, haddock, halibut and other types of fish. They would sell it to the poor people because they couldn't get very much for it.
