Lobster, corn on the cob and drawn butter

Maine lobster, accompanied by corn on the cob and a dipping bowl of melted butter, is a favorite menu item in New England. The cold waters off the New England coastline are home to many varieties of marine life, so the area has a large fishing industry and is known for exceptional seafood. (© AP Images)
