PORTLAND, ME - JULY 22: A bright orange lobster sits on the deck of the Billy and Andy lobster boat owned by Bill Coppersmith of Windham Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Coppersmith caught the exotic crustacean while fishing in deepwater canyons in the Gulf of Maine. Coppersmith said he has never seen an orange lobster like this in many years of fishing, though he did snag a white lobster in 1997. Coppersmith named him "Captain Eli" after his four-year old grandson. The lobster will be kept at the Fisherman's Catch in Raymond, run by Coppersmith's son, Billy Jr., for about a month before Coppersmith releases it back into the ocean.

The Affordable Way To Eat Luxurious Is Canned Lobster
By Christine Barba
While lobster is a pricey delicacy in today's market, canned lobster offers a way to dine like royalty and impress your guests with lobster-based dishes all summer long.
Scout's Atlantic Canadian Lobster, a fan-favorite from TikTok's "tinned fish date night" trend, is available on Scout’s website, at Whole Foods, and on Amazon for about $15.
BEST writer Micki Wagner shared, "their lobster is a bestseller for a reason. […] You're met with distinct chunks of red lobster meat swimming in lemon olive oil."
One Redditor added, "It wasn't overcooked/rubbery, there were decent bite-sized pieces, and it was not overpowered or adulterated with any offensive seasonings."
With canned lobster, you can make a lobster omelet, lobster BLT sandwich, spicy lobster tacos, and a lobster quesadilla, or keep it simple with a lobster-based salad or pasta.
