So Christmas is just about here... December 21, 2009, 08:25:28 PM ...meaning it's time for my annual Christmas Lobster Gloat :hick:This year was my best lobster haul ever. 48 of the finest quality Nova Scotia hard-shell lobster totaling 51 pounds. If they look small to you, it's because the 1-1.25 pound lobsters are the best tasting. These are about the size you'd find in a fancy restaurant.Anyway, the best thing about these lobsters was their price: At the dock they're getting $4/pound, but these ones were $free. It pays to have lobster fishermen in the family :D Quote Selected

You can have 'em.And you call yourself a Nova Scotian... should be banished back to Alberta with the rest of the lobster haters As for deer meat and beef steak, let there be no doubt, there are few things I enjoy more than wrapping a nice BBQ'd steak (RARE, thankyouverymuch and mad cow be ed) around my head, but that's an everyday food. Lobster is a rare treat, even here on the ocean. Deer meat is rare too, especially this year (I only got out four times in deer season so didn't get any meat this year), but since I don't have any I couldn't exactly gloat about it, could I? :D Quote Selected

So Christmas is just about here... Reply #13 – December 23, 2009, 01:14:24 AM Uncle's friend is a taxidermist, so we give him our hides for him to use in touching up other people's deer. We pull the hide off while it's still warm, and use a cheese-type cloth for coverage, until we get into town for registering. On this big one, we caped it for him to use for someone else's big deer that wasn't caped properly. (sorry for stealing yer lobster thunder, there thunder. I think I've eaten lobster twice in the last 5 years.) Quote Selected

They're about the freshest you can imagine: Straight off the boat and into the pot, cooked in sea water, which is THE best way of cooking 'em.Havi: No fear of the hijack, if I'd shot a nice buck like that I'd gloat too Quote Selected
