From the article:
People for Eating Tasty Animals, which wanted the lobster fried.

I have a hunch this is another liberty taken by the idiot writer - I never heard of anyone frying a lobster (And I live in Maine).

"I have a hunch this is another liberty taken by the idiot writer - I never heard of anyone frying a lobster (And I live in Maine)."

I expect your right.

The only way I've ever had lobster was either boiled, broiled, or steamed (with the corn, taters, clams and seaweed {and of-course beer}).

True, perhaps; but the freed/fried assonance would have been well-nigh irresistible.

In other news... NUM!

" I never heard of anyone frying a lobster (And I live in Maine)."

Down on the norteast coast of Baja California they do, and serve them with lime instead of lemon. There's a whole town that does nothing else...or at least, there was in the 1980s.

Of course, those are Pacific spiny lobsters, so there's no claw issue.

I long for the day that I can get back to New England for a lobster and steamer mega-pigout.

They do fry lobsters. My wife loved the fried lobster tail she had Atlantic Seafood, here in Alpharetta, GA. The presentation was pretty good, too. They peeled the tail out of the shell, which curved up an over the plate. Very pretty.
