Hey I’m Supposed To Be Frothing At The Mouth Not You!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

People tell me all the time that I must be sick of eating lobsters but in fact I love eating them.  Nothing better!

Here’s a picture Ashley Pickett took of this particular lobster frothing at the mouth.  I wonder what he is thinking about eating.

1 in 100 Million, Huh? Second Albino Caught In A Year By A Captain Joe and Sons Lobsterman

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

John Todd Writes In-

Joe,

   I forgot to mention when I offloaded yesterday that I had caught an albino lobster in the harbor. I took a few photos with my phone that I thought you might like to see and maybe post on the GMG page. I was going to bring it in but just after I took the last photo a homie dove down and grabbed it off the table, probably thinking it was something other than a lobster due to it’s color. It dropped it just off the back of the boat and out of reach, although I think it was short anyhow. I looked it up and they said it is as rare as 1 in 100 million. I know you had one a while back from Mike Tupper so perhaps they aren’t so rare or they just like to come to Gloucester for the hospitality!

DO AS I SAY- GET TO LAROSAS FOR THIS LOBSTER STEW!!!!!!!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I know I put a lot of pictures of food up here on the blog.  Many of these dishes are deserving of high praise.  From now on when I eat something that is truly OUTSTANDING and worthy of a “DO AS I SAY” rating I’m going to call it out so you know that you really ought to get there and order up that dish.

This lobster stew was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!!  I’m not sure I’ve ever had another lobster dish where the taste of the lobster shined as much as it did with this lobster stew.  This is not a bisque where there’s just a hint of lobster flavor.  This is an unearthly magnificent fanfuckingtastic lobster chunk laden lobster stew.

I’m callin it out in case you didn’t get my drift the first time-

Get TO LaRosas and order up some lobster stew.  YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

excerpt-

Eight-legged, with 21 body segments and a brain the size of a grasshopper, a lobster inhales through its legs and exhales through its head, extracting oxygen on the way through its gills.

Lobsters can smell. While officially they don’t "hear," it is said that traps are usually empty on July 5, leaving many to believe lobsters hear enough to hide from the fireworks the night before.

Lobstering is the oldest continuous business in Massachusetts.

Greasin’ the Bearing

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

click the picture to view full size

see that rubber disk mat that Matt Ring is fixing back into place on the deck of The Stanley Thomas?

That rubber disk mat covers the hatch which Mark just climbed down into to grease the shaft bearing.  The shaft is what connects the transmission to the propeller.  The easier the shaft turns the smoother the boat runs.  Simple right?  The sucky part is climbing down into the bilge with only about 3 feet of clearance to get to said bearing where the grease fitting resides.  You can see Mark with the paper towel wiping off the sludge from down in the bilge- Good Times.

Video coming tomorrow.
