Newsflash: Lobsters aren’t just for prisoners and indentured servants anymore.
OK, so the transition from “poverty food” to the country’s most revered shellfish happened quite awhile ago.
We’re sure many of us still long for the days lobsters were so plentiful they were used as fertilizer and fish bait — just so we could haul some off to a vat of boiling water on the side of the barn.
Those days are gone.
Maybe someday lobsters will go back to being served behind bars. In the meantime, here are three very different Greater Patchogue area restaurants that offer lobster specials, in no particular order:
