This Is What A Female Lobster Bearing Eggs Looks Like
Since it is Illegal To land an egg bearing female most of you probably haven’t seen what one looks like.

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

Albino Lobster Landed At Captain Joe and Sons Video
This is just way too much of a coincidence to have two incredibly rare lobsters landed in the same week. I wonder if it has to do with warm water temperatures

Shell-shocked! 3-pincered freak amazes lobsterman
By Laurel J. Sweet
Monday, July 19, 2010 –
Coming to a picnic table near you: Claws – the lobster that can squeeze its own lemon juice.
Capt. Joey Ciaramitaro has seen all manner of life on the docks of Gloucester, but he had to pinch himself Saturday when a triple-pincered freak of nature was delivered to Captain Joe & Sons wholesale lobster company.
“We’ve had blue lobsters before, half-albino lobsters before. It’s the first triple-pincer I’ve ever seen,” said Ciaramitaro, who videotaped the 2 -pound lobster flexing its all-you-can-eat noncomformity for his blog, GoodMorningGloucester.wordpress.com … which is now hosting a crustacean oddity show.
For the rest of the story click here to go directly to the story with a pic on the Herald website
Laurel got 90% of the story right. So many reporters no matter how many times I try to stress it want to either call me a Captain or a lobsterman. I guess it makes for a better story if it sounds like it is coming from the lobsterman rather than the shlep on the dock.
Update:
WBZ Radio just called for a radio interview. First question after I had just told the producer that I was a lobster dealer and not a lobsterman was “So where were you fishing when you pulled up this crustacean in your pots?”
OY!!!!!!!

Lobster vs Crab Filmed Using Manfrotto Modopocket
I just got a new portable pocket camera support made by Manfrotto. Manfrotto is the gold standard in design and what the professionals use for camera supports such as tripods. Most professional photographers and videographers have some of their equipment. I was reading a tech site which listed top ten must have gadgets for photographers and the Manfrotto Modopocket was listed and it looked like a very interesting alternative to having to carry a tripod around for those situations when you want to take a long exposure or conduct an interview without the shake and vibration which can make an interview look less than professional (not that anything I do should ever be confused with something professional).
I went to the reviews on the little piece of equipment and the people who had purchased it all wrote glowing reviews. The prices I saw listed for them in a google shopping search ranged from $20-$35. I got mine from Adorama Camera for $20 including free shipping. I got to use it a bunch yesterday and I am extremely happy with the purchase.
It folds up flat at the base of the camera and makes my Sony DSC H20 still pocketable which to me is crucial. The camera you can’t pocket is worth 20% of the camera I can always have on me to capture stuff for you guys. The construction is solid and engineering a marvel. I’m really digging it.
Check out the first video I took with it below. Click on the HD version to see the results I was able to achieve shooting inside of a lobster crate with zero clearance. The camera was sitting flush inside the back of the crate. The sound you hear during the lobster vs crab segment is the hum of our lobster tank pumps.
Here’s a link to where you can get it

Crazy Cairns Part II
I had the lab over to the house for a going away party for my best chemist going off to grad school. Teach them some chemistry and they run off …
Picked up a bag of bugs at the dock and they looked so nice I went to get my iPhone since I forgot my real camera. I didn’t notice that someone had slipped a kielbasa into the mix.
You really need to keep an eye on these people. So after they left at sunset I had to go for a walk as maybe I had a few too many cupcakes and got seven cairns going in the failing light. The nice tall round one was still up from two weeks ago. No wind in the forecast so these seven might hang out. Or Halibut2 might add some more.
If I did not get rid of these cupcakes I would have eaten the last four so I went to the harbormaster meeting in Rockport (every Thursday night at 7PM) and tried to bribe Rosemary and Scott into moving me up on the mooring list. Not much luck on that one but they likely succumbed to the creamy frosting right after I left.
Scott did give me ID stickers for my kayaks. I follow the Coast Guard on Twitter and it seems like half their time is spent trying to find out where the empty kayak came from. It may have just blown off a dock but they have to treat it as a lost kayaker. But if every kayak had a name and cell phone number inside the hull on an easily recognizable sticker the problem would vanish.

Big Old Hardshell Lobster Pic Submitted to The GMG Flickr Group By Shawn Cromwell
See how the bottom tips of the claws are black? That means this lobster has been hanging out for a while in one place hardening up. If the bottom tips of the claws are white it’s because they have been on the move and have scraped off the veneer of the shell on the oceans rocky bottom exposing a whitish hue on the bottom of its claws.
See whe don’t always work blue here. Occasionally if you stick around you might learn a thing or two.
