My family and I love lobster, we were raised on it...the best and freshest in the world. When I moved from the eastern seaboard, I learned quickly what is "accepted" as good seafood in other parts of the country, really is not. Many people have never tasted a lobster fresh from the Atlantic, (out of the ocean and into the pot) so they have no base of reference, and thus no idea what level of quality they should be getting for their money.

Tip: The American lobster, Homarus americanus, is one species of lobster found on the Atlantic coast of North America. It is also known as the northern lobster, Atlantic lobster or Maine lobster. It thrives in cold, shallow waters and some experts contend this makes the meat taste better because the flavor is consistent and strong, resulting in a more tender and succulant flavor when cooked. The American lobster is found as far south as North Carolina, but is famously associated with the colder waters around the Canadian Maritimes, Newfoundland and Labrador, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire.
