Is lobster just a meme among people with shitty taste?
Centuries ago, people realized that lobster was so shitty that even SLAVES complained about it.

>Oyster
>Foie Gras
>Polenta
>Even fucking Sushi
Are all part of a loooong list of really shit food that became pretentious and "to die for" over the years. Even though they were shit-tier for centuries.
I personally blame white people.
lobster is like..... the worst shellfish you can have. crab is much tastier, and so is all the other shellfish such as mussels and clams.
It's a meme. It's a big, tasteless shrimp.
It's really an overjustification effect in action.
>I spent way too much on this thing, and therefor I think it tastes good.
There's a reason everyone thought it was tasteless rubber in the 1700's, when it was given to the poorest of the poor in Britain, as it was so cheap and no one else wanted it. When it became a delicacy everything changed.
Other foods that are just results of overjustification effect are:
Oyster
Caviar
expensive champagne
expensive beer
foie gras
and almost everything else that's expensive

The claw meat is great, but lobster tail should be made into dog food or at least sold for way less than they want for it. The two are totally different.
A lobster roll made exclusively with claw meat is the best use of lobster.

next time have atlantic lobster instead of bland flavorless pacific lobster if you're willing to risk another reaction.
i don't eat it because it's just an overpriced ocean cockroach

>Polenta

God... that picture...
OHHH FUCK THAT LOOKS SO GOOD
Of course /ck/ are being contrarian childish faggots.
Lobster is fucking delicious. Is crab better? Yea, probably.
but fuck me that lobster meat dipped in butter..... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck so damn good

I read somewhere that it started as an inside joke in coastal towns to play on eurotrash, give em the ocean bug and charge them out the ass for it, and because it was expensive they loved it, and that's how lobster got popular
whole lobster is only good fresh, but it's still pretty overrated.
don't get it unless you can get it cheap
>>7470936
sushi can be ok, the meme portion of salmon on rice is overrated and overpriced though. Hell, even the cheapass sushi with chicken ontop is usually better.

>Only eat dead rotting lobster that washes up on shore for a century
>It gets a reputation as a shit tier meat
To the surprise of absolutely no one.
Lobster meat is whatever, its good with mayo or butter, but lobster stock is top fucking tier stock, its my favorite to use as a chef.
>>7470936
caviar tastes like rotten fish
lobster it top tier food
oyster also top tier
sushi is over rated garbage and taste like shit
no comment for the rest

I think it's impossible to eat a dead crustacean that you found on the beach.
At the moment of death, the digestive juices start liquefying the carcass from the inside. This is why they must be boiled alive.

Literally only buy lobster in Maine.

You're an idiot, OP. You can't fully taste something if you're allergic to it.
