Whether you personally choose one out of a tank at an upscale restaurant or break his claws with a hammer at a seafood dive, the American lobster remains the Northeast’s most commercially valuable animal. Tragically, both overfishing and environmental concerns threaten one of the most enduring and endearing of Northeastern professions–lobstering. In his latest work, Peter K. Prybot, a Gloucester lobsterman himself for forty-six years, writes boldly and passionately about hi calling. With an insider’s grasp of the details, he spins for l and lubbers a fascinating narrative about the lobster industry, introducing its pioneers, its development and even some of today’s salt-crusted lobstermen. Personally concerned with the future of his profession, Prybot writes with hope for the future, but he keeps a keen eye on the dangers that threaten this great American heritage. Witty, funny and at times heart-wrenching, Prybot’s tale of the intertwined lives of the American lobster and the men who chase it is a testament to Gloucester’s deeply-rooted ties to the ocean and its marine life.
