About Lobsters

As Found in Lines of an Article in Gourmet Magazine



Everyone knows what a lobster is. As
usual, though, there’s much more to know. It’s
true that they are: eaters of dead stuff, class
crustacea, lobster salad, lobster bisque,
lobster T-shirts and lobster bobblehead
dolls and inflatable lobster pool toys.
They date from the Jurassic period.
The nerve stem of Maine’s lobster industry,
a lobster is a marine crustacean.
There are dozens of different kinds worldwide.
they’ll also eat some live shellfish, certain
kinds of injured fish, and they have stalked eyes.
A lobster is joyful and lucrative,
and sometimes extremely well marketed
