Hi Everyone! Carma48...Been lurking lately but your post made me want to share with you lobsters in Florida. We have a wholesaler, Bar Harbor Lobster Company, located in Orlando, FL and they sell Maine lobsters, both wholesale and retail. However, they also sell cooked Maine lobsters for just $4.99 each, regardless of whether they are l lb. or l-1/2 lbs. Niece picked up three lobsters for me yesterday and I shelled them out for lobster rolls tonight. They are soft shell and semi-hard shell as of this last purchase...they've been mostly hard shell but we both know the season for soft shell is upon the industry. Since these lobsters are sold on a daily basis, they are not ones that have been in a tank for weeks on end.
Shame you had such a miserable meal. Used to go to the Landings in Rockland and always found their food to be very good. Used to enjoy the lobster stew with sherry and lots of butter at another restaurant on the main street in Rockland. Last visit there was a terrible disappointment. Evidently new cook or ownership, but it was the last time we would ever eat there. Perhaps this is what has happened to your friend Earl's suggestion...change of ownership or new cook. The manner in which you described the other entrees, it seems that perhaps they are shortcutting the cooking and using frozen fish or crab cakes. Sounds as if none of your delightful group would ever go back. How's that for ruining a business! Terrible! Hope you all made your dissatisfaction known to the manager or owner.
Hi to everyone, especially my old friends.
