No baloney: Global Warming creates a largesse of lobster

So...warmer temperatures are producing lobsters who are more inclined to show liberality in bestowing gifts, especially in a lofty or condescending manner?

[Little Bill]

$4.99 a pound here in Eastern NH. Bought a couple of 2 1/2 pounders and stuffed them with crab and broiled them, Hard Shells. Very tasty.

[Little Bill]

Only commies eat clam strips. Full belly is the AMERICAN way.

There's actually a glut of the "soft-shelled", or shedder, lobsters on the market. They don't travel as well as the "hard-shelled" versions, so these cheaper prices are fairly localized.

While I was up in Maine last month, I read a fair bit about this (I also ate my share of lobster). Needless to say, it has about as much to do with global warming as you'd expect.

Not to mention GIANT CRABS!

And if there had been an unusual delay because of a cold spring, there would have been nary a word.

I'm in the southeast. Last 2 weeks have been about 10 degrees warmer than normal. (upper 90s). This has been caused by Global Warming, for certain.

Starting tomorrow, temps will be about 10 degrees COLDER than normal (upper 70s, low 80s). As you'd expect, the silence from the MSM has been deafening.

And if there's a shortage of lobster, that will also be the fault of global warming.

It's a magic f@3king theory that cannot be made false. All outcomes confirm the premise.

Gonna need a bigger bowl of butter.

Best skit ever

Have you ever seen This List ?

[dead]

No, that’s great - thanks for the link!

I am not a commie. I swear. Just from the midwest. My CT born-and-raised husband eats only whole belly clams.

[Little Bill]

In NE you can always spot a foreigner, one who orders clam strips, much less one who frequents places that serve them.

Then there are the socialists that order Battered Fried Clams versus Patriots who like theirs dusted with a little corn meal and flour.

I never tasted a fried clam before I was exiled from Idaho but I chose my side quickly, Patriot. Go to Essex or Newbury and visit the clam shacks and make a choice.

We don’t really have a choice here... we don’t have any clams. However y’all send ‘em is how we eat them. And all we get is frozen strips.

And the only affordable lobster venue here is Red Lobster. But at 4.99/lb plus shipping, Texans need to get in on this action while it lasts. That’s only $6 for a 1.25lb chicken lobster. Add $4 for 1/2lb of Ribeye, that’s a party.

As long as the butter supply isn’t impacted....

[NEMDF]

I used to travel to MA frequently for work, and they would take us to decent places. There was a restaurant way up on a hill just into NH from MA. It was very scenic. I had lobster there.

Anyway, I am neither a socialist nor a commie (and not sure you should be throwing those labels at people who happen to like clam strips or battered fried clams).

Having lived my whole life in the Midwest, we don’t have much access to the variety of seafood available in other locations.

But we can buy amazing beef sirloins for $5/lb just down the street.

Ipswich Clam Company might do something for you, look them up but read up on how to fry them, see Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, they featured a couple of good places.

I buy Rib Eye Primal Cuts at Sams, 10 pounds for $7.66 and cut my own 1 inchers. Beware Red Lobster, the first and last time I ate at Red Lobster was at a FReep in Johnstown, Pa, it sucked.

[Little Bill]

In NE choices on clams matter.

[Farmer Dean]

Took a trip through Northern Indiana yesterday.Most of the corn there is beyond help at this point.

[HenpeckedCon]

“(and some fried clam strips)”

Barf!!! Just fry up some rubber bands. You’ll be in New England and you won’t be eating wonderful “whole belly” clams?
