These days, most of us only ever encounter lobsters in the context of luxury food, but these creatures used to be much more plentiful, with piles of them washing ashore at a time. I like to imagine a world in which modern-day beach goers must coexist with once-upon-a-time lobster populations, just as I like to dream about swimming with this creature.

You can watch the making of L Is for Lobster.
