I also love whole steamed lobsters, as you listeners all just heard.
And summer really is the height of lobster season here.
It's when the waters closer to shore warm up and the lobsters crawl into that shallower water to molt.
and mate, and they also happen to crawl into lots of local lobster traps.
Summer is also when the shore in New England finally warms up enough for lots of tourists to crawl out onto it and enjoy a summer vacation.
Tourists like Trevor Corson, author of the book The Secret Life of Lobsters.
Trevor became a writer instead, which as everyone knows is way less glamorous.
But he figured out a way to finagle himself into becoming a temporary lobster man by writing a book about it.
Trevor may just have been doing all the kind of dirty work on board to support the captain, but he did get a chance to get up close and personal with a lot of lobsters.
Which some less lobster-loving people call the cockroach of the sea.
And like cockroaches, lobsters are survivors.
They've been around since the days of the dinosaurs.
Lobsters got in on evolution before a lot of other crustaceans came into the picture and they were doing pretty well.
Trevor says they colonized a lot of the seas around the world.
If I'm picturing a crab and a lobster in a cage fight, my first thought is back the lobster.
It's got that big tail, it can use to flip and zoom backward.
The crab can only scuttle.
Yes.
Or predatory human.
Crabs lost their tail, and so any time a predator lurks around, they can just quickly burrow into the sand and disappear.
