Unfair to Lobsters?

Maine lobsters, on their last mile toward the broiling racks, may henceforth be deprived of their traditional last meal. For generations, lobstermen have baited their lath-and-netting traps with rankly rotten fish. The lobsters like it gamey, but lobstermen do not, and neither do the summer people.

A firm called Loblure, Inc. has now begun to deodorize lobstering. Research chemist David Miller, after long study, has found the lobster's taste specialized. He is certain that the high, pungent odor of the rotting fish is not what tolls them into the trap. What the lobster regards as the important ingredient (non-smelly to humans) can be duplicated artificially. Two ounces of Loblure wrapped in burlap is said to do the work of five pounds of fish. What's more, summer visitors can bask pleasantly on the sand downwind from a warehouse full of it.
