Homarus Americanus........ the great American Lobster
Lobsters live on rocky, sandy, or muddy bottoms from the shoreline to beyond the edge of the continental shelf. They generally live singly in crevices or in burrows under rocks, they typically eat live food, consisting of fish, mollusks and other crustaceans. Occasionally, they will scavenge if necessary, and may resort to cannibalism in captivity. Lobsters grow throughout their lives and it is not unusual for a lobster to live for more than 100 years. In fact, lobsters may exhibit negligible senescence, in that they can effectively live indefinitely, barring injury, disease and capture, they can get Gianormous. According to the Guinness World Records, the largest lobster was caught in Nova Scotia Canada, and weighed 44.4 lb.
Why all the wikinonsense you may ask? Well for the last 36 hours I was in Nova Scotia Canada at the Clearwater Seafood Plants. They are the largest single processor of scallops in Canada and one of the biggest with lobster. We had a chance to see their facilities, they were impeccably clean and amazing. They are the only processor in North America with the technology to do raw unshelled lobster!The way they process the scallops assures freshness processing on the boat within an hour of being pulled from the ocean...Check out the pics.....
