Lobster in Maine

She joins a crew on a working boat, pulling up traps and learning how conservation efforts keep the lobster population healthy. Back on shore, she experiences the time-honored tradition of a lobster boil, where simple ingredients allow the natural flavors to shine. Capri also steps into the kitchen to prepare lobster in unexpected ways, from butter-poached to spiced and grilled. She explores the impact of the lobster industry on the economy and how sustainable fishing practices ensure its future. Through her journey, she discovers how this shellfish represents more than just a meal—it’s a way of life for the people who harvest, cook, and celebrate it.
