The majority of lobsters sold at New Port in Baja and probably else where in the populated areas of Baja are generally imports - the panularis Cygnus
of Australia or the jasusi Landi of south Africa, but on occasion the local California Spinney lobster is sold, the panularis Interruptus.
That area of northern Baja has so much pollution from all the recent construction and influx of new residents and associated services that I would be
hesitant to dine on the local lobsters.
Please bear in mind that the "lobster " no matter where it's place of origin in this wide world survives on dead and decaying matter found on the
bottom of the ocean. They should be placed in the same category as terrestrial carrion,such as the ubiquitous vulture
With that in mind Lobsters were not considered fit for human consumption for the gentlefolk until the beginning of the 20th century. The exact date is
known where they were first served or when they became a popular delicacy for the masses. Now they are in great demand and are havested in one part
of the world and consumed in another.
