Bridgeport & lobster
Bridgeport sits on New England's lobster coast, where the catch was once so plentiful it was called 'ocean trash' and used as fertilizer — until 19th-century canneries turned Maine and Massachusetts lobster into a national delicacy.
🦞 Lobster lore
A lobster can regrow a lost claw, leg or antenna over successive molts, a large adult may have regenerated limbs several times.
