lobster season

Legal trapping period

Lobster season is the period when lobster fishing is legally permitted.

Regulations vary by region, typically protecting breeding periods and allowing populations to regenerate.

The phrase also marks a cultural and economic rhythm in coastal communities: Lobster season brings the whole town to life.

Outside fishing contexts, it can simply mean the time of year when fresh lobster is abundant and affordable.
