I doubt there is a human alive who can differentiated a freshly caught Maine lobster from a freshly caught Nova Scotia lobster (they are often caught in the same water and it is only an arbitrary fictional line that differentiates Nova Scotia from Maine, and the lobster are free to cross at their whim without even Lou Dobbs getting upset). Lobster have been caught more than 100 miles from where they were tagged.

Though regardless of where you live a lobster that was in the ocean a few hours earlier will always be better than a lobster that has spent several days (or, several months) living in a tank either without being fed or fed "farm food." So I think it is correct to say "lobster from X is better than any other lobster you might eat when in X."

I suppose you are right (as usual). Any time I have had Nova Scotia lobster it has been fresh off the boat and any time I have had Maine lobster it's been in a tank for who knows how long.
