Lobster Season
How do folks!
Would anyone like to add a little insight on some local favorite spots for some tasty langosta come October??? Is Puerto Nuevo the place? Or?
Thanks,
J

The fresh fish market at Ventura Harbor, you can buy live fresh caught lobster.

oh yeah....Cdude definately wins the prize for the best Asuncion story of the year...maybe the century! Sorry BajaGypsy...but your hospital visit
comes in as a close second for sure...maybe I should start getting a book together eh.
Cdude's adventure was duly reported here...well some of it anyway! the event was a product of the Gallery Inauguration...what a party!!!
Lobster season opens in 2 weeks and everyone is making traps like crazy.

Lobster at Puerto Nuevo is a joke! It's over priced and NONE OF IT IS LOCAL! It's shipped in from places like chile and the caribean. Most places dont
even give you Guac with your meal and everything is American prices.
Dont go there it's just a tourist trap! If you travel a little further to Ensenada you'd be much better served at "Bahia" It's just off the main drag
as you drive into town from the north. Turn left at the Mc Donalds one block north huge building. Best seafood in Ensenada and all the locals go
there. Dont be a sucker stay away from Puerto Nuevo all the local Lobster was fished out years ago. I was told this by a mesero or waiter Senor the
lobster is fresh it's always Lobster season in some part of the world.
Hi people in punta banda you guys got any good bars down there?

Hey who hasn't fallen off the back of an FJ Cruiser in the streets of BA???
All healed and ready for the whales again!
Thanks for the heads up Mexicorn. I know that place you speak of in Ensenada. I will definately check that out.
Shari, I might pop in for a visit in October. Is your brother in Law's place still for sale?

There is one good lobeter place at Puerto Nuevo that includes all the guacamole you want... and I was shown this place by Doug 'BajaNomad' and have
not had a bad meal since... It is Chela's (third floor), we took Bob H and Audrey there after the last book signing at the Pyramid Resort (see
photos). It may be the only place at Puetro Nuevo that locals outnumber tourists... a good sign!
See http://vivabaja.com/book6 and the report here on Nomad (May 2008)

Snore strips for wound care?? What a great idea. I'm putting those on the checklist.

Puerto Nuevo lobsters are usually shorts that are locally caught year round. My last few expieriences have been bad with soft meat and tiny bugs...not
tasty...I will try Chelas because I have sworn not to go back to some of the other restaurants.

I think they use imported frozen lobsters when the local lobsters are out of season. Chelas is indeed the best in Puerto Nuevo IMHO. Or go to to
the Popotla village by Baja Fox and pick up some live ones.
Also... REAL Maine lobsters are a steal right now. You can get them delivered live to your door for the same price as a local one- and get the real
thing.
