Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
Have we convinced you yet that seafood in the Wonderful World of Whiteway is just about as fresh as it gets? Here’s a little more proof – local fisherman catching lobster, right at our back door. And there’s nothing better than seafood caught the day you eat it.
Remember that for the rest of June, we’ll provide 2 free pounds of lobster for every 2 night reservation. Just a little more incentive to enjoy a weekend around the bay!
Here is a neighbour checking his lobster pots just in front of Murphy’s Wharf. And as the season winds down, we have had more than our share of lobster, lobster bisque, crab, scallops and the likes from our neighbours, most of it caught right in front of our house. It pays to be right on the ocean – no question we live in the horn of plenty!
If you love fresh seafood, Newfoundland is your paradise. I’m sure it’s one of the reasons we get so many tourists. And as I blogged a few days ago, we were treated to some delicious fresh and local lobster last week – a treat fit for a king (or a queen actually, as I’m mildly allergic – boo! – so it was The Berry who enjoyed them).
Those lobsters (lets call them what they were – monsters!) were so big, we saved a claw for Laurelyn’s son, Adrian – who got to enjoy it when he came out this weekend to help us celebrate Mother’s Day (I hope you all had a good one, by the way). So here he is enjoying the monstrous beast! 
Ironically enough, Laurelyn’s son is named Adrian, and we named our first daughter Adrienne. Coincidence?
And there you have it – the end of the perfect lobster. I’m a classic Jim Carrey fan, and I can’t help but think about this scene from Liar Liar when anyone mentions ‘the claw.’ Too funny.
Feast your eyes on these babies – like we got to do when our friend and neighbour, Alf, called up to see if we wanted some lobsters. I have a mild allergy, so said we could only take two – one for The Berry (Laurelyn), one for Joe Friday. And just look at these monsters he cooked for us! The claw on the male (the one on the left) was bigger than my hand.
So when Alf showed up, we rushed to the liquor store in Green’s Harbour to buy two bottles of Bolla Pinot Grecio, then sat down to a feast – The Berry and Joe having magnificent sea food, and me, meatballs and bread. Does that sound fair to you?
They devoured one and and a half lobsters, leaving the rest for Laurelyn’s son, Adrian, who also loves them. Nothing beats fresh sea food (and plenty of that around here!).
