Lobster & crab.......am I alone ?

We just had some nice king crab legs that I bought from Costco a few days ago, they were good! Here's an article I just read about a lobster that was cotton candy blue color, caught in Canada, thought that was interesting. More here.

We spent a month in Maine several years ago. I ate so much lobster in every form imaginable that it's a wonder I didn't grow claws. The lobster harvest had come in early and exceedingly plentiful and it was going for practically nothing......a large cooked lobster picked up at a "pound" could be had for $2.

The mussels were amazing, too. I bought a mussel "appetizer" at a bar attached to a pound for maybe $5 and out came a platter the size of a semi truck hubcap heaped with mussels. I ate until I was almost sick and still didn't get to the bottom.

The clams? Don't even get me started. I'm so hungry now...…

I was told that back in the early days, lobsters were considered fit only for the poor folk. The wealthy wouldn't touch them.....only beef and other meats were on their tables.
 

I think tha lobster id overrated, but I do love crab. when I was young, crab was cheap - in fact the lobster fishermen would often give it away, so I ate plenty. Note that in the UK, we're talking about the edible brown crab. I like most seafood - prawn, shrimp, crab, mussels (I love mussels - I recon that the Belgians have the best ones) etc.. I also love Octopus, though it's not common here.

Me too, I eat Octopus and squid much more when I'm in Spain because I love it and it's ridiculously cheap unlike here, they're also very much bigger ... I love Crab and mussels too.. and the Spanish ''can'' mussels so I always bring a lot back with me to see me through until my next visit.

I used to love prawns but I rarely eat them now except in a seafood chowder perhaps..

I agree that Lobster is too expensive for the meat content... and really not very tasty anyway. I think we should just let them swim in the sea in peace..lol
 
As a life long raw oyster eater I developed a bulge in my throat about 10 years ago and after two surgeries it has come back. Now, because of this bulge I cannot pass an oyster through my throat. Bummer.
