One of my fondest memories is when I was 8 or so, I would go out on the lobster boats in New Brunswick with my grandfather. You'd help haul traps for half the day and they would let you take a 5 gallon pale full of fresh lobsters home with you. We had a 45 gallon drum right on the beach besides my grandpa's house where we'd boil them up in sea water and eat them right on the picnic table.

Best spiny lobster I had was in Cuba. Found a guy near our resort who had a shack on the beach. All he sold was lobster and beer. $5 for a lobster cut in half and BBQ'd and 75 cents for a Corona

nice...I can share that same experience from the north shore of Mass.
nothing like it with some steamers and some corn on the cob
