Soft-shell lobsters emerging early in season

Staff Writer

CAPE ELIZABETH -- Lincoln Jordan pulled a rectangular wire basket from a display tank inside the family vegetable stand at Alewive's Brook Farm Wednesday morning.

"It usually looks like this," he said, as half a dozen soft-shelled lobsters glistened orange and brownish-black in the bottom of the dripping basket.

"But this morning, these were filled to the top," he said, gesturing toward a row of five similar baskets. "I've never seen this many culls this time of year for soft shell."

Steve Train, a lobsterman on Long Island, returned to hauling traps last week after taking a month off while he switched boats.

"We're definitely seeing more than I usually see this time of year," he said of the soft-shell lobsters, which normally don't start showing up in abundance until June or early July.

Local retailers started splitting prices -- lower for soft shells and higher for hard shells -- in late April and early May.
