I know that we Lobsters are a real treat with you humans. You probably don't know this but we welcome your desire since when we come back in another life we are much bigger. Because of the cold water off the coast of Maine that is where we thrive and become" the best of the litter" - so to speak. Did you know that some lobsters are "right handed" and some are "left handed?" You can tell by the crusher claw which is the biggest. Make sure you don't let your fingers get in the way of that claw if we are still squirming. Usually pegs and bands are put on our claws to make us behave. Somewhat like a muzzle on a dog - if you get my drift. We species are very lucky, if we lose a claw or an eye we have the ability to grow another - neat. We also shed our shells and the frequency depends on our age. The world's largest lobster is in the Boston Museum of Natural History. It is 3 ft. 51/2" long and weights 42 pounds. In the lobster kingdom we refer to it as "Big Daddy." Since you are visiting my site, I want to share some "inside" information with you. If you will e-mail me at lucy@ownapieceofmaine.com and tell me where you are traveling in Maine, I will e-mail you back and tell you where you can get the best lobsters. Hey, what's a lobster for? Happy eating!
