Did some work in a lobster facility- the freshly caught lobsters are sent there, the crates are put in a room that has water running through, the water gradually cools and the lobsters 'go to sleep' as one of the staff put it. Then they are loaded onto aircraft and transported to their destinations. Once there they are gradually warmed back up. Thousands of miles away and days/weeks after capture they are sold as fresh. When covid happened the lobsters already prepped for shipment were instead released back into the sea.
The lobster is cut in half like that because that is how Caribbean lobsters with their harder shells are usually served. So, people are used to that presentation in the islands and South Florida.
Any good restaurant owner or decent chef should be thrilled to meet the guy who helps make their success possible. Cheers! That dinner should be on the house.
No because he's a commercial lobster fisherman and has access to fresh lobster straight out the water. So when he says it taste fresh it probably does.@@dt8799

@AA-il9pc you have that the other way around. Clawed lobsters like Maine lobsters are more closely related to crawfish than spiny lobsters are. Spiny lobsters have no claws (unlike Maine lobsters and crawfish) and are more closely related to slipper lobsters. But both spiny/slipper lobsters and clawed lobsters/crawfish are more closely related to each other than they are to other crustaceans.
My grandfather had a small lobster fishery in Nova Scotia, just north of Maine so even though I grew up very far north, we always got the first catch of the spring. Just seeing him pulling the meat from the shell hit me with a wave of memories. Our huge cherrywood table with a pile of lobsters and little dishes of butters. Barely any talking because it was so good, and smiling greasy faces. 🦞😅
I grew up on the east coast of Florida & luckily received a lobster trap as a ɓirthday gift. Over 50 years later, I still dream of the fun & the delicious rewards. Best gift ever. Love your content ❤ Wonderful to see your father too.
That’s the power of air freight. That lobster came off the boat, it was probably packed near the shore, probably driven to Bangor or Portland and loaded on a plane. They don’t spend time in TSA, ticket lines, long loading and taxi times. They usually bounce through a hub, and typically within 10-12 hours that suckers on its way to being dropped off by the supplier at the restaurant. In a lot of places they’ve been out of the ocean in a tank less than 2 days.
I had lobster in Florida it was sooo over cooked. I had no idea that could happen. I had to ask, how long has this lobster been cooked? The waiter looked at me and said, 'You are from New England, aren't you?' I felt bad that people were being served that. I'm glad you found one that was good. :) Enjoy Miami.
That waiter was rude w/attitude. Like what does it have to do with my question I would've said I asked you a question & it's rude to disregard it and answer with another snippy question. I may have walked out or ask for the manager/ owner.
We're you aware... the regular lobster season in the Florida Keys is always August 6 through March 31. The daily bag limit for the spiny lobster season in the Florida Keys is 6 lobsters per person in Monroe County and Biscayne National Park. Everywhere else in Florida allows lobster hunters to bag 12 spiny lobsters as the daily bag limit.
After a whole day on he beach, Dad would take us (1959 - 1975) to the Lobster Shanty. A bib, tools and melted butter accompanied our lobster which cost a few dollars. The experience was priceless.
I believe it was one of those bills that included gratuity. Normally, those bills come with a line to tip beyond included gratuity ("additional tip"), but it's not expected. At least, that's normally what "additional tip" means when I see it but the rest of the bill is blurry so it's hard to tell
It’s hard to eat anywhere other than the “yahd” with “newspaypuh” on the table. My Gram lived in Bristol and I miss her so much. Many memories of Pemaquid Beach. Your accent brings so many memories back. Thank you. ☺️
Love the series but nothing like a fresh maine lobster in maine....used to rent a home in maine for the summer and the owners owned the lobster co-op of sorts used to get them delivered fresh by the lobstermen to the house. Great guys and great memories.

This is the most sincere TH-cam channel. New England lobstermen are one of a kind.

Not really. Catching lobster as a job doesn't mean you're a good lobster chef.

the circle of life
I bet he checked it for a notch.
For $600 I’d fly to Maine and get one that you caught…..fresh!
Yeah because Miami has zero lobsters and definitely would not lie about it being from Maine
Nawww lmao
@@HoldenMaGroin-ne6vvFlorida doesn’t have lobster. They have “spiny lobster” which is a type of crawfish that tastes completely different.

As a fellow Mainer I personally love watching this channel!
I been a commercial fishermen for 19 years not to often you eat sea food that taste as good as it does at home cool video
I’m glad he prefaced that with a clip cuz he’s right I didn’t recognize him!!
Imagine bro starting to eat the lobster and notice a notch on the tail ☠️

I am currently in Miami but I can't wait to get back to Maine for some real lobster I can afford.
It better be with that price. Dig in.
Cool to see this guy branching out into other forms of content
Glad that your expectations were exceeded in my hometown. Brought a smile to my face. Welcome to Florida and to Miami!
I love lobster but I don't think I love it enough to spend nearly $600 on it, lol.
So, the billing was somewhere in the vicinity of $500+ ¿☆? 🤫
What restaurant? 🤔
Lobster 🦞 and butter looks so delicious 🤤 I need to visit Maine someday
No tip on the bill?
I believe it was one of those bills that included gratuity. Normally, those bills come with a line to tip beyond included gratuity ("additional tip"), but it's not expected.
At least, that's normally what "additional tip" means when I see it but the rest of the bill is blurry so it's hard to tell
Identifying as “the lobster guy” is its own kind of flex
All the Maine lobster i see here in Texas is very fresh. Literally alive before you buy them.
you guys represent Maine so well......we're proud of you
I'd be damned if I'm eating a sea bug for $570.
