Somerville & lobster
Somerville sits on New England's lobster coast, where the catch was once so plentiful it was called 'ocean trash' and used as fertilizer — until 19th-century canneries turned Maine and Massachusetts lobster into a national delicacy.
🦞 Lobster lore
Hard-shell lobster ships and stores better and packs more meat per pound, which is why winter lobster often costs more.
