Jamaica & lobster
Jamaica'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
The green 'tomalley' is the lobster's liver and pancreas, a delicacy to some, though advisories suggest eating it sparingly.
