A few days ago I informed my mother and GMG contributor Kim Smith that I would be coming home to Gloucester for a short visit.
Immediately the first question she asked me was, "What do you want for dinner your first night home?" Of course I didn’t have to think twice about the answer: lobsters from Captain Joe’s! It had been months since I had fresh lobster; I suffer through flavorless, overpriced lobster tempura in sushi rolls and rubbery lobster nuggets in wanna-be lobster rolls during the winter months in NYC. The only thing I wanted was to get my hands on a tender, juicy two pounder straight off the boat, and boy did Joey C deliver.
Last night my family enjoyed our scrumptious boiled lobsters accompanied by artichokes, pasta pesto, and a refreshing salad. It was simply the perfect summer meal! Today I had the pleasure of visiting the king of the lobsters himself on his docks, the "epicenter of the lobster world", to see exactly where my delectable crustaceans come from. I was in heaven surrounded by the bins of live lobsters just waiting to go in my belly (sorry, PETA), and even got a few to model with me. Thanks to Joey for having me!

Good Morning Gloucester 
Great post honey!!!
If you don’t think it makes a difference from where you purchase your lobsters–last winter I needed lobsters for lobster risotto. I forgot to place an order with Captain Joe’s and had to purchase lobsters from another source. The lobsters smelled a little off when cooking and they tasted disgusting–of METAL–ruining the risotto. Never again will I purchase lobsters from somewhere other than Captain Joes!
