The menu for President Joe Biden's glitzy state dinner Thursday night has embroiled the White House in a simmering controversy over Maine's signature culinary offering.
The state's lobstermen have been leading the charge against new federal government regulations aimed at saving endangered North Atlantic right whales from getting tangled in fishing gear. And recently, the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch and the Marine Stewardship Council declared lobster unsustainable, which led to Whole Foods to stop selling Maine lobster.
Against that backdrop, the menu for Thursday's state dinner, for French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, leads with butter-poached Maine lobster, served along American caviar, squash ravioli and a tarragon sauce.
At a preview event, White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford reserved a special a shout-out for Maine's lobster workers.

"They had to ship 200 live lobsters to us yesterday morning," she said.
The preview event left some Maine politicians steamed, perhaps none more than Rep. Jared Golden, a Democrat, who tweeted that Biden should "take the time to meet with the Maine lobstermen his administration is currently regulating out of business."

200 live lobsters were shipped from Maine to the White House yesterday morning to prep the butter-poached lobster course of tomorrow night’s State Dinner … per Chef Comerford. @FLOTUS

If the Biden White House can prioritize purchasing 200 Maine lobsters for a fancy dinner, @POTUS should also take the time to meet with the Maine lobstermen his administration is currently regulating out of business.

Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat, and Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican, also used the moment to urge the lifting of federal regulations. Collins is listed on the guest list.

I also urge him and his Administration to recognize that all Maine lobstermen want is the opportunity to continue providing this product for people to enjoy without the Federal government crushing them under the weight of burdensome, scientifically-questionable regulations. 2/2
