Don't know specifically about Lobster, but if you want an all around good meal, try Sano's, on the highway before entering the main town area. Great
meal, excellent service.
CasaMar also has a reputation for good seafood.
Maybe Dennis, BajaBound, Lizard Lips or Jose A will chime in with their favorites.

Casa Mar would get my vote for a higher end dinner. I have NEVER had a questionable meal there. And, we've been eating there for over 20 years.
Fantastic service too. Free parking right next door.

If you judge by the price, it has to be Costco. Saw one, nice size but not a lunker, on ice for 25 dollars.
What happens to all the perishibles that don't sell at Costco?

Why not go out to El Rincon and buy your bugs straight from the fishermen. Javier gets back about 10:30 most days. Drive out to the yellow shack and
wait till the guys in yellow overalls show up. 12 dollars a kilo, and they are still crawling. They usually are on the smaller size, but you get
about 30 for 60 bucks. Bring your own butter. It is somewhat hard to find butter in baja.

Drive out the La Bufadora highway until just past La Joya. There is a faded sign there that says El Rincon, take a right, when you get to the water
turn left the yellow shack is just down on the end, only house there. Tell them Tom sent you and you want Langosta.
For those that knew him, the Yellow shack is directly down the cliff from Fred Hoctors old house.

I am a big fan of Mariscos Bahia de Ensenada, one door off the main tourist strip (Lopez Mateos). I think the street name is Riveroll, but it might
be the next street down from Riveroll.
I have never ordered lobster, but they specialize in seafood, as the name implies, and I have had five or six excellent meals there. It is not
expensive, not fancy, but the food and service are really very good. They have lobster, octopus, shrimp, clams, calamari, filetes, and whole fish
prepared various ways.

I just did the math. If you pay $60 at $12 per kilo then the 30 bugs weigh just over 1/3 lb each.
You're buying babies.

My original post was incorrect. DAVE. it was 4 kilos for 50 bucks, and we only got" ABOUT" 30. Probably more like 25. I don't think a 1/3 of a pound
lobster would amount to much. Probably wouldn't even stay in the trap, as they
have limits on how small the holes can be on the cages. Another Baja knowitall rears his ugly head. I am really going to have to remember to be less informative.

4 Kilo's or 8.8 lbs at 25 ea = .35# ea 
I think you bought crawdads.
Legal lobsters usually don't go below 1#- 1.25# ea
I'll pass

butter!

Don't worry Bob. Dave and Ken's dentures don't allow them to eat anything too firm. They are of the spiny variety and as big as anything I have had
at puerto nuevo. Not that that means anything, as New Port is a total pit and there is nothing decent to eat around there. It is just a place for day
trippers to spend their money on month old lobster, and dried out deli meat. Most posters here should stick to the paved roads. God forbid they have
any interaction with Mexicans.

You mean like illegally purchasing illegally harvested lobster?
That kind of interaction?
It sets a proper example. Keep up the good work.

You're right Dennis, he lived at Campo Arnaiz, the very end house with the boganvilla over the driveway. You can't see his house from the road. He had
the best view of the bay. I think Tom was thinking of the red brick house out on the bluff instead. A lot of people used to think that was Fred's
house.

Thanks for the verification. I know where he lived but thought Tom may have some insight to his secret life.
Do you remember when the brick house was a restaurant? So long ago that this could be a trivia question.

Did you guys know that Hoctor's wife still has the house on the bluff...............spends six months there and the rest of the year up in the hills
in New Mexico............What a view and a fishing boat tied up at the bottom of the path.
I always wondered how he got that nasty scar on his head.
Perhaps a trip too many with Phil Harris to Hussongs.
