I read somewhere that harvesting lobster is over around 3/15???? We won't arrive until 3/24/2001. So...we can or cannot order fresh lobster from menus?

No, sorry! After lobster season is over you can't even possess lobster in any form... frozen, cooked, etc.

Don't worry though, the rest of the food is so good you won't even miss the lobster a bit.

Anyone know the exact date for the 2001 cutoff? Would hate to plan and miss it by only a day or two.

In past years Feburary 15th was the big day. I would guess it's the same this year.

Our first year we arrived February 16th...can you imagine our chagrin???!!! But you know what? No problem...let those little lobsters grow. We got to see them on a night snorkle...many times more wonderful than snacking on them.

If lobstering has an ending date, does anyone know when it begins again? I will be coming in mid July and Lobster is my favorite dish. Is there any chance of having some?

You're in luck. The lobster festival and beginning of the season is on June 15th!

Thanks for the info Debbie. I was beginning to think I was going to have to re-schedule my vacation.

I hope my wife doesn't get arrested: we'll be there in March. I always end up looking as red as a blotchy lobster (that’s a very rare lobster from Minnesota, USA)! Beady eyes too.
