A portentous Narragansett arthropod was recently found: "Yellow lobsters are rare, but not unheard of. When one was brought ashore in Massachusetts last year, several experts said its coloration came from a gene carried by both parents, and it occurs in about one in 30 million lobsters."

Which reminds me of a nice stay in Newport, RI several years ago looking at the fabulous "cottages" and mansions of the Gilded Age. The fried seafood and beer later at Flo's Clam Shack really hit the spot. There also is a strong Portuguese influence in the Providence, RI area and many wonderful chowders and hearty soups are to be had there. But its hard to beat those "Reds" shrimp from the best shacks and dives around Gulf Shores, Alabama. Steamed and soaked in butter, they are just sweet and delicious. Hopefully the BP release will have little impact on the future availability of these fantastic, succulent shrimp.
