Vinalhaven = lobster. And for those of you interested in trivia, the world’s largest lobster fishing fleet calls Vinalhaven home. An 18 wheeler (BIG truck) leaves the island 6 days a week (they don’t fish on Sundays) loaded with live lobster.
Back to the real matter at hand, Mary had her first whole lobster. It’s not every French woman, or anyone for that matter, who can say they had their first lobster delivered to the door by the fisherman who caught it just that morning. If being a quick study in how to cook, then dissect and eat a lobster is any indication, her career choice of biology should serve her well. So did Mary like the lobster? Let’s just say she managed to eat her 2 pound lobster plus John’s tail and one of his claws. Karol & Patty didn’t offer to share.
A small note to those suffering in the east coast heat wave – it’s a pleasant but muggy 70 degrees this morning. Being surrounded by the cold north Atlantic is a blessing.
