Oooh. I didn't realise this is the season. My parents always cooked lobster for New Year's.

 

It does kind of remind me of the time our prospectors went out early one Sunday morning and we had er, poached salmon for dinner. 😉

Jeremy Charles, the chef, co-owned a restaurant in St. John's called Raymond's which was considered one of Canada's top restaurants and placed first in 2011.  We had dinner there a couple of times on our several trips there.  Fabulous food, service, everything.  We always had the tasting menu and if it works, I'll post the links to the meals we had.  I'm thinking we should go again for those lobster rolls.  Thanks @TdeV for your post, it brought back happy memories.

Wait, what. (!?) Did Raymonds close? Did not know Jeremy has a home in the Gros Morne area. Todd Perrin left Mallard Cottage. But now back on Water street opening Rabble recently. Lost track of those fellas. The Thursday before storm Sandy the 'Best Chefs of Canada' cooked at the James Beard House in Manhattan.  Those that left the next day made it home. (Jeremy and Todd) Those that had the weekend planned to hang and have some fun had their flights canceled. We ended up with a housefull...and great food. Raymonds sommelier and Mallard Cottage sous chef among the crowd. I think Andy Warhol was at the Met at the time.

We have a home in TrinityEast, for 22 years now, so I know all those guys. 

One Christmas holiday we flew in with a checked baggage full of hMart delights and made fresh spring rolls for a big gathering. Newfoundland can be a bit of a 'food dessert' in the winter months. Thai basil, mint, cilantro, garlic chives...

It has been a couple good years for lobsters in Newfoundland. They have been numerous, by the amount of spawning females and undersized lobsters thrown back, I expect this  to continue.  

Raymond's has been closed for a few years now and the "Jeremys" have left Merchant Tavern as well. So I guess it gives him more flexibility for these projects?

Pictures are on Change Islands ( next to the more familiar Fogo Island). Catch the lobster in the morning and cooked the same evening.
