Lobster tastes like shit anyway. Giant mutant lobsters will taste like giant mutant shit.

I hear them described as a “rolling compost toilet.”

I’m with @MJP, I’ll take the !

At least on beef the tasty stuff is pretty far from the anus, not wrapped around it…

The secret is to leave them in the ocean.

the truth is I dont eat any beef but filet or hamburger when I go out either because its hard to screw them up. When you are used to your own beef it can be hard to accept the crap they serve elsewhere

Fresh ones cooked properly.
Cook them too long and you get rubber.

thats what I wondered. Is it the same with alligator do you think?

Ice them as soon as they are out of the pot. The shell traps the heat in and they continue to cook!
I meant to quote your previous post, not all there today!

Have never understood the love for lobster.... It tastes ok but I would rather have a choice of other seafood before going to lobster.

Works out ok at lobster day at the mess as I get more steak.

My father was a commercial lobster fisherman, his philosophy on lobster was pretty simple; "I sell the lobster so I can eat steak".

1. Fresh
2. Fresh
3. Fresh

I'm not a huge fan of shellfish either with the exception of scallops, but once you've had it essentially off the pier, the stuff that is available to us in Central Canada simply can't compare. Fresh water fish is the same. In n/w Ontario I could get a Walleye meal basically off the town dock (or even better, a shore lunch), but the stuff available at the stores is not the same. We do have a small Metis commercial fishery here so their stuff is pretty close.

seems sort of similar with halibut. Ive almost never found halibut in the maritimes. Haddock yes and Cod yes but hardly ever any Halibut

The commercial groundfish industry was decimated in the 90s, NL Cod got all the attention in the media, but it was all over the Atlantic region that things were closed. Some fisheries came back, some didn't.

When I was young my father was gone from Monday to Saturday as long as the Northumberland Strait was free of ice, after the groundfish seasons closed, he was home a lot more often.
