Flushing & lobster
Flushing's lobster runs through greater New York — from Montauk, a fishing village since the 1880s whose catch once rode the railroad to the Fulton Fish Market. Long Island Sound's lobster collapsed around 2000 but is slowly returning to these waters.
🦞 Lobster lore
Lobster pounds, open-air spots where you pick your lobster from a saltwater tank, are a New England institution rarely found elsewhere.
