Yours truly, Trevor Corson, looking for lobster stuff. Got any? E-mail me
This was where I posted my irregular ramblings, reports, and pictures as the author of THE SECRET LIFE OF LOBSTERS from 2004 through 2006. This page is no longer active, and serves simply as an archive. To read new entries starting in 2007, please visit my new Lobster Blog.

According to an article in today's Boston Globe, people in New England aren't taking the ban by Whole Foods on live lobsters very seriously.
Celebrated lobster chef Jasper White (who hosted the publication party for my book, THE SECRET LIFE OF LOBSTERS) called the move "pure silliness."
And a customer at James Hook, a lobster retailer on the Boston waterfront, had this reaction: "If they ban the lobsters, what's next? I boil them and I'll eat them until the day I die."
- Last time I was at Kroger on Grand Parkway in Katy TX, they still had the lobster tank with live lobsters. I have no qualms about "boiling them alive". We Texans have been doing same to their smaller relatives, the mud bugs (crayfish to you folks east of us).
- The local Wal-Mart where I work dont sell Lobster anymore. But think they always had trouble with lobster tank. Not sure. . . . But Lobsters were big sellers.
