PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNAL: Although I sometimes wondered if the collection of shacks clinging to the edge of Blue Rocks was the work of an over-zealous preservationist, I met and spoke with several lobster fishermen there and saw others packing up their traps and closing down the season which had just ended. Does anyone use wooden traps anymore? Or was this little scene a monument set up long ago by some lobster fisherman protesting the Canadian government's enforcement tight limits on the length of the lobster season. Next door in Maine they fish for lobsters all year long and wooden traps are only found in antique stores. Here they were plentiful, though the locals call them, "tourist traps."

It probably has nothing to do with the traps, but I've eaten the «famous» Maine lobster... and I've eaten lobster in Portugal. No comparison! You have to come here... ;))
I've never had Portuguese lobster, but if the world had nothing but the New England kind for my final feast, I'd die smiling. If there's something better, bring it on.
