The fish at my local grocery store sucks, so I was really happy when my doorbell rang one day and I met The Fish Guy. The Fish Guy has fresh corvina (bream?) and pargo (snapper) and pulpo (octopus) and camarón (shrimp) and, every so often, langosta (lobster). He calls once a week and if I'm around and in the mood for what he's got, I place an order and he delivers later that same day.
Last week he had lobster and I ordered 2 kilos. It was fresh and smelled great, but I was a little taken aback by how small they were. Really small. Like, taken from their mommies, small. I'm willing to bet that if you got caught with these in Florida, they'd fine your ass.I don't know the laws here - if there are any - so I'm wondering if I should continue to buy them. Until I get an answer one way or the other, I'm going to continue to eat them. Small or not, they were fantastic.
Wow, those are small; I've seen larger prawns!
Granted there's obvious overfishing in many places, CR included, but let's hope they don't eventually start marketing 'popcorn lobsters', as some cute marketing ploy!
