Nairn & lobster
Nairn's lobster and langoustine come from Scotland's cold Atlantic west coast and the Minch, where creel fishermen have hauled pots from small boats for generations — shellfishing has been a Highland and island mainstay for centuries.
🦞 Lobster lore
During WWII lobster was one of the few foods never rationed in the US, which quietly rebuilt its reputation as an affordable treat.
