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?


Overpriced? that's ridiculous. Considering legal Lobster in Baja runs at about 300-350 pesos per kilo, i have yet to find a place where you can buy a Lobster dinner for 25 bucks like you do at Puerto Nuevo. Off course, many small places buy Lobster out of season, females, no taxes, etc and pay 150 pesos per kilo. I would encourage anybody that unless your eating in a fishing village or a small restaurant in an ejido somewhere, to avoid eating at places that are not doing things right.

Here you go. A dozen live lobsters ("Chicken lobsters" 1.25lbs) delivered to your door for $160. Beat that in Puerto Nuevo! BTW- Maine Lobster is not even related to the Baja clawless critters. The taste tells.

Yea, lobsters are tastey! They aren't cheap, one of those supply and demand things. Sorta like the price of mud bugs and oysters down south. When the buyers exceed the number of sellers/suppliers by "X" factor the price is gonna climb.:(

true. I was back east in RI a few months back and live lobsters were just $4.99 a pound at the Stop & Shop. They steam they for free too. We got two per person and went to town. Less than a cheap steak and about half the price of Filet Mignon. Who would have thunk the "Surf" would be cheaper than the "Turf"? Very sad for the Maine lobster industry though.

Or you can take a trip up to San Diego and catch your own lobsters starting 9/25 thru March 2010. It only costs

Resident CA Fishing License = $50
Lobster card = $8
used Boat = $10,000
Boat Insurances = $500
Boat repairs, misc expenses = $1,000
Fuel = $500
bait = $100
Hoopnets, ropes, floats = $400
6-months rent = $12,000
total = $24,558

Number of LEGAL lobster caught in 6 months (1.2 lb ave) = 15
15 x 1.2lb = 18 lb
$24,558/18lb = $1364/lb for lobster in San Diego

Looks like Puerto Nuevo is a deal to me.

I have eaten many, many, Lobsters from Keiko and Juan caught off of San Gorgori,
I have and still occasionally take and eat Lobster from San Catalana Island, to North of Loreto off Pt. Colorodo, Also South of Pt. Thersa around from the entrance to Conception.

The Maine Lobster is "O" that is "Zero" in taste compared to a Baja Lobster.''

The ones you get from Maine this time of year are the "Molts".

All lobster is good. My Dad used to put out ten lobster pots. Way too much hassle with the commerical guys who would put razor blades in the ropes. That took the fun out of it for him and eventually everyone got "lobstered out" anyway.

Do you think the deep frying of the warm water Mexican variety enhances their texture and flavor?

this is good to hear...coming from boston, i was so disappointed when i came to california and tasted the lobsters...perhaps i just did not have the "good" ones. i am so looking forward to going to Puerto Nuevo and trying once again cause i LOVE lobster.

If you go to Puerto Nuevo, make sure you tell them you want it boiled and not fried in oil. The oil really overwhelms the taste of the Lobster. This has been brought to you by the letter G and the number 4:cool:

Skeet has spoken ..... :wow: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Although I do like Florida, Carribean and Baja lobster (no claws), if I was to say that I liked Maine lobster better, would I be a heathen ??? :P

MIkelikebaja obviously hasnt tried Juan's fried lobster! I'm a boiled or grilled fan myself. And the first couple weeks of the season, the lobster are ....well you could say....not very good...low quality,mushy like...but one will do in a pinch.
