You've clearly never been to Maine.
Sure, Maine boils lobster, but you haven't lived until you've had deep fried lobster. Porto Nuevo, Mexico, south of San Diego has restaurants that drop the lobsters in hot oil. Kind of like the deep fried turkey concept, it cooks the lobster super quick and yummy too!
My ancestors were among the founding citizens of Kittery. Every August is at Biddeford Pool.
