Have a look at this blue beauty caught here in the waters of Conception Bay by one of our hard working lobster fishermen! 🦞💙

A genetic difference can cause some lobsters to produce more of a certain protein than others. Blue lobsters are believed to be so rare that some marine biologists estimate the chance of catching one is at about one-in-two-million.

Don’t worry she was thrown back 💙

Have you ever heard of Vacation Deprivation?

Well, neither had I.

So when shared their annual report with me, I dug in to learn more and am excited to share the results with you.

🇨🇦 Canadians believe that vacations are important and that the help increase overall health and happiness. But people across Canada feel vacation deprived.
📆 Only 25% of Canadians have booked their vacations for this year (and considering it’s the end of June, that’s not good) as last year Canadians left THOUSANDS of days unused.

What can you do about vacation deprivation?
✏️ Use your vacation days!
📱 #1 reason for not taking all vacation days in 2023 “life is too busy to plan a vacation”

Where should you book your next vacation?

Hey folks,

Here’s a quick lesson in lobster! 🦞

We cook our lobsters in about 2-3” of salted water for 20 mins after they return to a rapid boil.
There’s a lot of different references out there on cook time but 20 mins at a full boil will usually guarantee that the lobster meat and the body of an average size 1.25-1.5lb lobster is fully cooked. If the lobster is bigger, then you will need 25mins at a rapid boil to ensure it’s fully cooked. If you ever break open a female lobster and notice a black, tar-like jelly liquid in the body and tail, that’s the roe of the female and it’s not cooked. It doesn’t mean that it’s a bad lobster. The lobster meat is fine to eat but If you take that lobster and drop it back into the boiling water for another few minutes, that black roe will turn bright red and is perfectly safe to eat! 🦞

We know everyone has their own way of cooking, this is ours and we’ve done it for years. Doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong, the post isn’t to tell you how to cook them, it’s to inform you of what an undercooked female lobster can look like and what to do if that happens. We get many calls on this during the season when people buy live and cook lobster themselves, we just want to inform it’s not a bad lobster but an undercooked one. 🦞

Bon Appetit!

What an amazing and beautiful 74 year old photo! This Innuit girl descending into her home, an ice igloo ...
This powerful image transcends time, and continues to go viral over 70 years later.
Helen Konek is 91 years old now. But she was 17 when photographer Richard Harrington asked to take images of her family near Arviat, Nunavut. This one is in the massive igloo her father Pipqanaaq built.

Yet no nibbles or bites
We have been waiting
Till everything’s just right

Yet waiting a little longer
Is what you must do
But we’ll give you a taste
To help get you through?

With quite a view you’ll see
Out the front, the lake
Out the back, the sea

The inside stunning
Yes, it sure to be divine
