Port Jefferson & lobster
Port Jefferson'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 lobster's rise from peasant food to luxury began with the railroads: dining cars served it to inland passengers who had no idea it was once considered junk.
