Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

Also weird to me that you’re expected to do all the work to consume the lobster too.

I think canned soup is overrated. The nutritional value is surprisingly low. Salt is high. And when I’m looking for something vegan, I figure soups are an easy genre for option. Nope. Everything has some milk product added to it.

I keep some canned soup for emergencies but everytime I make soup from scratch I like to fill a mason jar or two and keep it in my freezer for a healthier emergency meal

Do you have a secret for freezing it without cracking the jar?

[-] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I use bernardin and ball mason jars because they're thick enough to hold up to the temps. Grocery tomato sauce jars typically crack after a couple times. Most importantly I let the broth cool to about room temp before I pour them in the jars then I put the jars in the fridge for a few hours/overnight before I put them in the freezer.

Lobster High Pressure Processing

Text Article if you don't want to watch a video, also has more details

There are now machines that will remove the lobster meat from the shell without cooking it, so you can have 100% of the edible stuff with no shell bits.

It comes at a premium, but if speed and a hassle free experience are what you're after, the tech exists!

Hot damn. Imagine getting executed by high pressure chamber, kind of gnarly

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

We come up with some particularly interesting ways to execute lobsters, that's for sure. I'm not sure we dispatch any other food animal in so many ways.
