I'm very glad you got in something positive before the Lobster Bigots start piling on.

I actually had great tails at La Casa del Agua.

Warning: The place isn't cheap!

Yeah, I 've been known to play the "lobster" card

We have eaten at the Blue Lobster the last couple of years and thought the lobster tails to be excellent. Very nice atmosphere sitting upstairs and looking out onto the street. Speaking of lobsters, here is a joke for ya'all.........
A Lobster Story
In a small fishing village, a Newfoundlander was walking up the wharf carrying two - at least three-pound live lobsters - one in each hand.

It was three weeks after the season closed! Whom should he meet at the end of the wharf but the Federal Fisheries Officer who, upon viewing the live and wiggling lobsters, says: "Well me Laddie I got you this time - with two live lobsters three weeks after the season closed!"

The Newfie says, "No - my son you are wrong! These are two trained lobsters that I caught two weeks before the season ended."

The Fisheries Officer says, " Trained like how?"

"Well my son, each day I takes these two from my house down to the wharf and puts them in the water for a swim. While they swim I sits on the wharf and has me a smoke, or two. After about 15 minutes I whistles and up comes me two lobsters, and I takes them home!"

"Likely story", the Fisheries Officer says! "Lets take them on down the wharf and see if it's true."

So, the Newfie goes ahead of the Fisheries Officer to the end of the wharf where, under supervision, he gently lowers both lobsters into the water.

The Newfie sits on a wharf piling and lights up a smoke, then another! After about 15 minutes the Fisheries Officer says to the Newfie, "How about whistling?"

The Newfie says " What For?"

The Fisheries Officer says, " To call in the Lobsters"

The Newfie says, " What Lobsters?"

We had really great tails at La Casa del Agua as well. Also, the music was great and there was dancing. Funny waiters too! Expensive but worth it because of the entertainment factor. Food delicious!

I had my 50th B'day dinner there. Great restaurant. But for great lobster at reasonable prices I'd go to Boston or Maine.

Of course the beaches there aren't quite as attractive this (or any) time of year

Or find a local place that has it flown in occaisionally. A lot cheaper getting them here than getting Wi. peeps to New England.

You know your talking two different types of lobster.
Eastern seaboard Atlantic "true" lobster and the Caribbean crayfish "lobster".
An Atlantic lobster has claws, the Caribbean crayfish does not.
I prefer to eat a Caribbean tail over the Atlantic anyday.

You and three other people.

I find that while warm water lobster is good in a dish with other things; for a stand alone meal I like the cold water Atlantic lobster.

PS: Which is so expensive here in the midwest that I'll wait to be back in New England to buy it. In the meantime shrimp will do; Yum.

I've never seen a "BIG" lobster tail down here but I've a couple excellent small ones in Puerto Aventuras at Richard's. I'd say it's hit or miss on the quality though.

Mush · 01-25-2008

Four of us had lobster at Richard's years ago. Thought it was fabulous but then we did have three bottles of vino tino with dinner.

We used to get really great "big" lobster at Capitan Bob & Son's restaurant, but it's closed. Pat had a very good tail at Chicago Don Jose's, they only sell them in season and are spendy for Playa.
