Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Lobster Pie? I've had chicken pie, and turkey pie, and beef pie, and once even a steak and kidney pie, an awful experience to say the least. But Lobster Pie? Now that I recently moved up to Mid-Coastal Maine from NY, I've started to run across quite a few Maine and New England regional food specialties. Everywhere I go it seems there is something new to try.
I was picking up some fresh shedders (soft shell lobsters) the other day at one of my local purveyors of lobster and fresh seafood, the Oyster River Lobster Company in Warren, Maine. (You may remember them from when I wrote about their rare Blue Lobster that they had on display last year, before they donated him to join a few other rare colored lobsters on display at the Portland Aquarium in Maine.) When I saw a hand written sign saying that they had fresh lobster pie for sale.
I just had to ask about the pie. The owner, Jeff , said that in each one was around a pound of sweet lobster meat in a buttery and creamy Newburgh style sauce, with a large splash of dry sherry to help it along, and then topped with crushed Ritz Cracker crumbs. It sounded interesting to me, so I got one and rushed home with it. The pie was frozen, so I put it into the fridge to slowly defrost, and went about the rest of my errands and work for the day.
