BEFORE: Fresh lobster
Every July, Florida boaters and wannabe fisherman flood the coast during mini-season, a two day free-for-all before the eight month regular lobster season. Since 12:01 a.m. locals have been making runs back and forth to their favorite traps and stakeouts filling their live wells with Florida lobster.
My hometown resides in Monroe County, so my family was only allowed to catch six lobsters per person per boat. Luckily, I'm Cuban and there are a whole lot of us--plus all my cousins that came down from Miami.
I didn't get to enjoy these tasty treats, but my mom made sure I knew just how delicious, tender and buttery they were. The mini-season ends tomorrow at midnight and doesn't re-open until August 6. I'm sure I will have many more jealous pangs for home until then.
