Lobster Fished along the coasts of Quebec and the Maritime provinces in shallow waters, lobster (homarus americanus) is probably the most prestigious of seafood. The environment (rocky bottom and cold water) in which it evolves gives it a hard shell that protects its firm and dense flesh with an exquisite taste. Interestingly, there is a different flavor in each part of its body.
