Mambo Dave:Thanks Missdirected - now don't feel so embarrassed about my lobster ID'ing skills. Thanks all, too - I've reconsidered.
Now that I'm on the hunt, can someone tell me if the typical 'Spiny' measuring guage is what we're supposed to use on Shovelnose in FL?
It feels strange to hunt for something that is so slow, but if they taste that good then I'll just have to try out at least one for myself. I wonder how they evolved to be so slow, and how they continue to thrive in the oceans?
Best,
MD
They hide really well. From my understanding, per the captain and DM, this is why there are no restrictions. I still can't think of that other name (besides slipper). It was something like dinosaur. Google to find out about the size.
We brought up a spiny and a shovel that day. Immediately cooked both. The shovel was much sweeter, very nice.
By the way, that was West Palm where I got him.
