Rules

Hehehe.

My husband and I are trap netting suckers this year, mostly for the experience but also to potentially make a few dollars. I’ve heard lobsterman use suckers for bait in the spring because “there isn’t much for fresh bait around”. Obviously you can pick up some salted bait.

My question is, as a lobsterman, what would you consider to be a reasonable price per/lb for fresh suckers. Please correct me if I’m wrong but FRESH herring and pogies go for $2/lb.

Also, message me if you’re way downeast and interested.

Caught him fishing out of Digby neck

Should you buy lobster frozen right after being caught and sold raw and frozen, or should you buy frozen lobster that's been cooked live and immediately frozen?

Read the screenshot please 😭🥲. I am guessing it has a " n words requirement" so just pointing that out to write this stuff. Everything is in the pic and I would love to hear your opinions on what you just read whatever they maybe be. Thanks for participating, I enjoy criticism from people some are useless some are insightful and just saying that I feel like I over did it. Whatever you may think of me or the issue at hand.

I’m having a debate with my friend discussing this; we’re trying to find the strength of the lobster’s shell, but can’t find any definitive information.

Personally, I think that the cat would win, but he’s dying on his lobster hill.

Thanks!!

I had a beautiful 2.56 queen NH lobster straight outta the water and to avoid a giant long rant by me, I’ll simply say, my idiot friend killed her before I could cook her. Not intentionally but still, I’m heartbroken and want to preserve this beauty’s shell. Last seen alive this morning at 12:13am EST, found dead at 9am sharp. I’m not gonna eat her, obviously so chill your pants already. I do want to know the most effective meathod for cooking her in order to maximize ease in cleaning the meat and guts out, but would also like to maintain a pretty red to the shell and don’t wanna bleach her. Again, don’t care if meat is cooked so long it turns to dust, I ain’t eating it. Also I’m like 99.9999% sure she’s dead but how do you tell for sure?

SIDE QUEST (+69s✨xp )- I’d ideally like to remove her rubber shackles before I begin the cooking process so they’re not forever imprinted on her beautiful claws. I’m scared she might secretly somehow still be alive and sleeping and kungfu chop death rattle me or something…best meathod for removing rubber bands without putting self in lobster claw attack range? K thnx reddit 💋🦞

It has a black color on it after I cut it open. Not sure if it's normal? Safe to eat or discard or cut the area out?

Hi all, my family bought lobster tails for Christmas dinner from Costco and I noticed that one of the tails was notched. I tried calling NOAA but they hung up on me? Am I missing something? I thought it was illegal to catch an egg-bearing female

Your unemployed friends on a Wednesday

Just picked up some nice looking tails that were in the seafood cooler at my grocery store in Wisconsin. How long can they stay in the fridge until I have to cook them. Was hoping to wait until Sunday, if it’s ok to do so.

Thanks

Looking for a good reputable online seller that ships to buy roughly two 5-6 pound live Maine lobsters, that sell for a good price.

Any recommendations?

I’m going to get lobster for my mums birthday and don’t know a side to go with them
