National Lobster Day is celebrated in the United States on September 25th, recognizing the lobster’s role as an iconic seafood delicacy, particularly along the northeastern coast. The day highlights the importance of the lobster industry to coastal communities, especially in states like Maine, where lobstering is a vital part of the economy and culture. It also encourages seafood lovers to enjoy dishes featuring lobster, from classic steamed lobster with butter to more elaborate creations like lobster rolls, bisques, and pastas.
Lobster fishing has a rich history, with Native American communities having fished lobsters long before European settlers arrived. Over time, lobster evolved from a humble food for the poor to a prized luxury dish. National Lobster Day provides a chance to celebrate this transformation, honor the fishermen who work hard to harvest lobsters sustainably, and, of course, indulge in one of the ocean's finest delicacies.
