Whether you're attending the Maine Lobster Festival this weekend or not, these crustacean celebrations are fit for any occasion.
You may not be able to make it to New England in time for the Maine Lobster Festival, but there's plenty to whet your appetite here. In the slideshow below, you'll read about a number of innovations that have been inspired by crustaceans like crabs, lobsters, shrimp, and barnacles.
Implications - FIRST SENTENCE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE
What I personally find interesting about the phenomenal collection is that I have always loved sea-food and lobster in specifically. There are many innovative creations here that go well beyond what you might be expecting.
