Lobster Tails in The Villages

[vegasqueen]

What restaurant in The Villages would you recommend for Lobster Tails ?

[Chatbrat]

Arnold Palmer 12 oz stuffed tail-not cheap, but the best lobster in the Villages. Period !!!!

[Sandtrap328]

Arnie may be good but Nancy is great!

Monday night is Lobster Tail Night at Lopez Legacy. $24 for twin lobster tails and they ARE good!

[tomwed]

Lobster Tails to you, until we meet again.
Lobster Tails to you, keep smiling until then.

[Chatbrat]

Twin midgets don't come close to a12 oz tail--I've had prawns bigger than Nancy's tails.

[JoMar]

Plus I believe they serve warm water lobster here, from South American waters. If you want a cold water lobster best way is to have shipped from up North. Expensive, but worth every dollar.

[jnieman]

I've had good ones at Glenview.

[Shadow8IA]

Sam St Johns. 2 lobster tails & shrimp for $20. It was very good.

Nothing compares to cold water lobster from northern US or Canada. Yummy.

JoMar-you are absolutely right-Halls Harbour, Nova Scotia--best lobsters ever-3-5 pounds of heaven & cheap too. Pulled in there with our boat. Cleaned the bottom without a haul out. Waited for their 20' tide to run out and boat sat high & dry for a while.

[jblum315]

I eat lobster only when I'm in Maine which is every August. I get my lobster fix and I'm done. No warm water so-called lobster for me.

Cold water lobster from Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, fresh after fishing, .... nothing better. :mmmm:

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.

I guess we were poor people - when I grew up in Nova Scotia, we were fed a constant diet of lobsters, oysters, clams and other fish.
Funny how lobster went from a cheap source of protein to an expensive delicacy.
Prior to that, lobsters weren't eaten at all, they were used as fertilizer.

In Maine, they used to feed prisoners in the penitentiary lobsters.

I've also read that some lumber companies in that area, when advertising for lumberjacks, would promise NOT to feed you lobster more than 3 or 4 times a week. Lobster was NOT considered fine eating for quite a while! I'm curious as to how the lobster industry overcame that and turned it into haute cuisine.

Just back from the northeast and the fishermen were getting only $4 each for "chickens" (1 lb. Lobsters with 2 claws). Pretty cheap.

[Chatbrat]

Maybe wrong but used to believe the minimum size for export from Maine was 11/4 lb

[Barefoot]

I didn't know this:

... 6 pounds of soft-shell lobsters or 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 pounds of hard-shell lobsters to make a pound of lobster meat.

I tried the lobster special at Lopez and the tails were overcooked.
But others in our group seemed to like them, and I didn't say what I thought.
I was comparing them to fresh-fished cold water lobster, probably not a fair comparison.
In the restaurant's defense, they were incredibly busy.
On "lobster night", they probably cook batches of lobster and keep them warm under heat lamps.

I want the one you get me fresh from the pot:1rotfl:

Nope. There is no regulation on weight for commercial fishermen. The legal catch is at least 3 1/4 inches but no more than 5 inches measuring the length of the body shell.

The small ones come in around 1 pound.

Judge Mulhbach & Ms. Priscilla have ruled on another thread. No fresh lobster for Eagle. :ohdear:

And throw back the females if they have eggs.

Appeals court, state appellate division, state supreme court, US appellate division, US circuit court, SCOTUS----long way to go in this case. Given the recent SCOTUS rulings, you might as well concede:1rotfl:

I have every confidence that the lobster ruling by Judge Mulhbach will persevere. :duck:
