Located at the heart of Bermuda, Lost in the Triangle (LITT) offers a unique dining experience that combines the freshest seafood with rich local tradition. Delvin Baen, a seasoned fisherman with over 30 years of experience, shares his journey and passion for lobster fishing in a captivating YouTube video.
The Essence of LITT
Delvin’s story begins with the spiny lobster, a local delicacy. Unlike Maine lobsters, Bermuda’s spiny lobsters are clawless and prized for their flavorful tails. The fishing season, from September to April, sees Delvin aboard his boat, “Troublemaker,” navigating Bermuda’s abundant reefs. Licensed to catch these southern lobsters, Delvin meticulously measures each catch to ensure it meets the legal size of 92 millimeters, safeguarding the species’ future.
Sustainable Practices
Delvin’s fishing methods highlight sustainability. Using government-issued cages made from biodegradable sisal rope, his traps are designed to minimize environmental impact. Lost traps eventually open, preventing marine life from being unintentionally caught.
A Culinary Journey
LITT’s menu is a testament to Delvin’s commitment to quality and freshness. The lobsters are prepared with care, seasoned with garlic powder, lemon pepper, and paprika, then baked to perfection. The Thermidor variation involves cooking the meat separately and presenting it elegantly within the shell.
Legacy and Passion
Fishing runs in Delvin’s blood. Taught by his brother and father, Delvin’s love for the sea is evident. The tranquility of Bermuda’s clear waters and the thrill of the catch keep him invigorated. His dream of opening LITT was born from an abundance of fresh fish and the desire to share Bermuda’s culinary riches with the world.
