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.

Lobster and crab was poor person food back in the day, then it switched for some reason? You figure it out?! Bottom dwelling scavenger bugs from the ocean are now en vogue?
