“My name is Sam, with the capital S. I am the man with the plan,” Chef Claudius Sam told a group of visitors who stopped at Potter’s by the Sea on Saturday during the first Anegada Lobster Festival.

 

Mr. Sam was serving lobsters wrapped in foil from a nearby grill.

“I can’t share my secret with you,” he told patrons. “My secret is different from everyone. I am the lobster specialist.”

Chefs at several restaurants around Anegada had a similar routine as they offered samples of lobster dishes to the nearly 800 people who visited the sister island on ferries for the two-day festival.

The first-time event, which was sponsored by the BVI Tourist Board, was scheduled to coincide with the end of Restaurant Week.
