WHERE'S ROCKET NOW?
Episode 3: Lobster Fishing
Boothbay Harbor, Maine
Miles traveled: 850
They rise before dawn and strike out in all sorts of weather into the waters by Boothbay Harbor, Maine. These lobstermen catch their prize with simple bait and trap, the way it has been done for hundreds of years. Most of the catch has to be thrown back because the lobsters are too small, too big or too pregnant. Yet the ones they can keep and sell are pure seafood gold — a succulent American harvest exported around the world.
