Christmas dinner.

We call them crayfish but most people seem to know them as rock lobster. The big one was about 9lb (4kg).

Really nice, how do you cook them?

That do look like a proper meal there! I'd take that over Turkey any day!


They seem to go by different names depending on location.

These are our local North Atlantic Lobsters! They do grow up to thirty or fourty pounds?? but the market size is about two pounds. It is said the smaller ones taste better.[My wifes Father used to fish lobster]

I caught a bunch of "crayfish" as a kid growing up in north central PA...but none of them were that big!

Those look like what we call Spinny Lobster here in Florida. Ours don't have claws, the North Atlantic Lobster has claws, found off the northern coast in colder water.
I knew a guy that caught a 18 pound Spinny Lobster while SCUBA Diving in 90' of water. He said when he grabbed it that it was like grabbing a Jet Ski!! It carried him back and forth across the reef!
I never heard any complaints over Spinny size and taste.

Lobster are kind of a New Year's Eve tradition up here.

I had no idea anything like that existed. They do look more like our little fresh water crayfish (or crawfish or crawdads, depending on where you're from) than the lobsters we're accustomed to seeing.

Eagon- Your lobsters are making me drool..... However what really caught my eye was your stove. I love it, it looks awsome.

WOW! That's one big crawdad!

We kicked the old bird to the curb (or in our case the county road ditch) and cooked up a good old elk roast this year. Mmm, that cow sure was some good eating!

Egon,

Had to do a double-take on the stove. Thought the clearances were close until I noticed it was an electric one...
