Catching Lobster in Frenchman Bay
How does the lobster get to your plate? It takes dedicated lobstermen and lobsterwomen and many lobster pots to make a living. Right in front of SeaCat’s Rest there are lobster floats from at least 5 fishing folks. It’s a daily ritual as they go by, checking their traps and putting out new bait to catch this tasty seafood.
Locally in Maine you can get the soft shell lobsters at a good affordable price. This summer, roadside sellers were charging under $4/lb! These are lobsters with new shells and they don’t ship well, so we eat them here at home. Many seafood places around here will cook them for you.
If you are here at SeaCats’ Rest, we have a giant pot so that you can bring home the live lobsters and have a homemade feast. Throw in some seaweed from the shore for extra flavor – just like local restaurants do. Add mussels and clams from the local water and you have a seafood feast. Ask us how and we will be glad to teach you.
