Yep, More Of The World’s Best Lobster Rolls From The Mrs

This week I provided the lobsters and the Mrs provided the preparation.  Yum!

Think about this- stormy weekend, football on the tube, lobster rolls, and some hand picked out wine from my trusted wine aficionado advisor Toby Pett. Sounds about perfect to me.

LaRosa’s Chowder

The folks at LaRosa’s want you to know they are not just a pizza joint, they are so much more with huge fantastic salads, homemade chowders featuring bacon and hand cut potatoes, and a large variety of seafood dishes.

LaRosa’s Seafood Risotto

Decadent.  Amazing.  Rich.  Delicious.

All words to describe the seafood risotto dish at LaRosa’s at the lights in East Gloucester. Loaded with lobster, shrimp and scallops, I was in heaven.

Me So Horny

See the spikes on the nose of this lobster? Notice how they are sort of dull? Well that’s because this particular lobster is an old shell hard lobster that hasn’t shed in a while.

The newly molted and new-shell lobsters have razor sharp points (because they have not been honed down yet) that love to find the underneath part of your fingernails when you are grading lobsters without gloves on. It hurts like a motherf^cker when one of those spikes jams up under your nail, believe me.
