I don't want to be putting anybody down but the wife and I had a Maine lobster dinner once at a lobster shack up around Bar Harbor and it was the pits

I guess it's because we are used to eating Maryland steamed crabs that are cooked with more spices. Blue crabs are nasty things, nothing but a spider that lives underwater and eats anything including dead people. That's why they taste so good.

Anyway we boil 'em with a lot of salt, red pepper, crab seasoning and vinegar.

The Maine lobsters we got were boiled with nothing and rubbery. It came with Cole slaw with no cole slaw dressing to speak of. Very bland. I prefer the New England fried clams. I got a mess of them over in Nova Scotia and they were great.
