National Lobster Day

National Lobster Day

Because rags-to-riches stories are always worth celebrating, on September 25th, we observe National Lobster Day!

Here’s the story: Now considered a fine delicacy throughout most of the world, the crowd-pleasing crustacean has seen darker days. Pacific Standard Magazine writes of a time when “consumers could buy Boston baked beans for 53 cents a pound, canned lobster sold for just 11 cents a pound.” In a time when Maritime New England was practically covered in lobsters, they were a food relegated to prison feed. Lobsters have had quite a journey as a food item.
