New Ross & lobster
Ireland's lobster has been potted from the rocky Atlantic inshore for generations — by the 1870s over 5,000 boats worked the coast in light currachs — and ports like Kinsale (a fishing centre since the 13th century) still land it fresh near New Ross.
🦞 Lobster lore
A lobster roll comes two ways: Maine-style (cold, with mayo) and Connecticut-style (warm, with drawn butter), the rivalry is genuine.
