CUNDYS HARBOR, Maine - Usually, it would take no added incentive to sell lobster rolls at cost.
But when a cafe up the coast advertised topless waitresses as a lure this fall, the plight of the reeling local lobster industry was cast in stark, naked focus.
The topless tease was a joke, but the Brass Compass Cafe in Rockland was dead serious in its effort to push more lobsters on a state that seems to be crawling with them.
From the state Capitol to the grass roots, Mainers are being asked to help out the suffering industry by eating more lobster - during the week, as a family, and as a dietary staple that now is sometimes as inexpensive as bologna.
They are even being encouraged to incorporate the clawed crustacean into Christmas dinner.
