Lobster
 

Just discovered the Cousins Maine Lobster truck and it was the best lobster roll and clam chowder I have had since we left New England.

Where was it located?

At Woofgang Bakery on 101

How do you know it was Maine Lobster ?
My son while in college summers he worked on lobster boat on Long Island sound
End of the day the shipped their catch to Maine Just saying

I see them there often on Tuesdays.

I am not a food connoisseur by any means but I was born and brought up in New England and know Maine Lobster.

I'm gonna try again next week. GE & Barefoot should see this post, Tal too! Good job FW. :clap2:

I remember a thread, maybe here on ToTV about lobster rolls and this food truck came up in the thread as a true hidden treasure.

Not sure if they will be there on next Tuesday. Orlando, FL – Cousins Maine Lobster

Their Orlando area truck schedule only shows the next five days with two days off, it looks like.

I see them once in a while there.

You have to put their website under your favorites and ck their location every week. They only post one week at a time. I had really hoped they would have been one of the food trucks at Marsh Bend. They were in Brownwood, Paddock Sq, on the 4th of July.

Please enlighten us.How you know the difference
I was born in Conn and 47 years later moved to Maine
Live here 21 years and counting winter in the Villages summer here in Maine
Lobster from Conn taste just like the ones in Maine

Brick and morter Cousins resturant in Jax beach...been several times....it is tremendous Lob rolls, Awesome Chowda and Lob Bisque.....

OOOH, OOOH, I'll take Lobster for $800 Alex.

Cold Water Lobster is Delicious and Warm Water Lobster is Garbage!

There is undoubtedly a difference and a think a Taste test is in order!

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: Maine Lobster is Real. Florida Lobster is from

Fugazy Land! :mademyday: :clap2:

You are correct. Technically I should have said cold water Atlantic lobster but I know it as Maine lobster.

Lobster caught in traps in Connecticut is Maine Lobster. That's just what those lobsters are called.

Now I remember the thread, but you can search for it yourself. It was about lobster rolls. I posted in it, about the HOT lobster rolls, picked lobster meat that is kept hot in a crockpot of melted butter, dumped into a hot-dog roll.

So do the ones caught off the Massachusetts coast...

I had two great whole lobsters at Blue Fin and being from up north, I can say they were outstanding. Why are there food trucks in Brownwood?

It was Woofgang on 101 at Palm Ridge

If you want a whole lobster in a restaurant BlueFin's are great. If you want to eat at home you can order whole New Englasters from Lighthouse Seafood Market on 466.

Good to know. The lobster the grilled bun and the clam chowder were all so good and just as I remembered them.

Oh! I'm sorry you are wrong Cliff.... you didn't put your answer in the form of a question. :icon_wink:

Technicalities Alex! :1rotfl: That YouTube Song Applies here also! Does that mean I don't get the 8 Beans? I was gonna buy Lobster for Everyone.

Same idea without looking at the Singers Happy Feet! Pharrell Williams - Happy (Official Music Video) - YouTube

:clap2: Did you get the Connecticut or Maine lobster roll? I prefer CT. You can sign up to be notified by email whenever they will be in The Villages.:clap2:

The Maine lobster roll. That is what I am used to. I like a lobster dinner with butter but a lobster roll with mayo.

Their web site lists the area where they sustainably catch their lobsters--in Maine.

The cousins were on "Shark Tank"and Barbara partnered with them. Her strategy was to franchise, and that is what they did. The boys are from Maine.

They are opening another of their restaurants in Clearwater on Saturday.
The trucks move around and you have to ck their website every week to see where they are.

I'm with you 100% on that. I'm from Connecticut though so I may be biased. Did you know...

It's not really a "Connecticut" thing. Not a state-wide thing. It's mostly just on the shoreline from New Haven up, and in several fried-fish seafood joints inland in New Haven County. In Hartford and Ledyard, it's cold lobster salad in a bun, with mayo.

I am going slightly off topic here ......... I am very much in favor of food trucks, whether it be LOBSTER (yes), Mexican, Indian .... whatever, the food is usually excellent or the truck does not last too long. However, I would think that for them to park their food truck in TV would cost them which, I suppose, is why the Lobster truck is in Palm Ridge which TV do not own. I don't think TV would allow restaurants on wheels to take money out of TV without leaving them a piece of the profits. Also, there must be a lot of regulations on these food trucks from the local councils.

We spent several years in the UK and Oxford Street in London had lots of outside food stands which was a great way for office works and tourists to get lunch without spending time in a restaurant waiting to be seated and served. I have relatives in Singapore and they always eat their evening meals off the food trucks or street stands.

The Mods might tell me I should have started a new topic on food trucks:ohdear:.

Food trucks are regulated in Florida and perhaps you haven’t seen the news that The Viilages have arranged for several food trucks south of 44.

The best lobster we ever had was in Hall's Harbour Nova Scotia, we were there on our boat unbelievable--as a kid I grew un eating lobster, clams & oysters in Lundy's Brooklyn,NY

When you were a kid, lobster probably wasn’t rare or considered a delicacy. It used to be served to school kids because it was so abundant and considered mundane.

The lobster truck has been in The Villages on Villages property. It was in Brownwood, Paddock Square on July 4. Another time it was outside of Manatee Rec Ctr for a club activity.

I agree. My cousins did lobstering in Boston Harbor and it's exactly the same lobster as you get from Maine. The idea of Maine lobster is a publicity campaign.

I doubt that anyone could tell the difference, especially when it slathered in mayonnaise and spices.

Does anyone know of a good place to get a New England style lobster dinner?
