no, it isntyears and years ago, Lobster was considered a "poor mans food"
because anyone could row out in a boat and drop a trap and get some
but with the commercialization of it lobster is not that plentiful anymore
It's still a poor man's food if you live in a fishing community in Maine.
But it's disengenuous to imply that lobster isn't an expensive food, when it remains expensive everywhere except the eastern sea board.
because you cant just row a boat out and drop a trap anymore
its too regulated
about the only way you can get a lobster without buying a very expensive license now is to be a scuba diver
and then you better make damn sure you are no where near any set traps when you grab that lobster
Or you can pull up someone else's trap if you don't mind running the risk of getting shot.
Of course I would never do anything like that.
