Lobster

Tenor CS · 08-08-2009, 05:19 PM

Totally random, but when you eat a whole steamed lobster, what is the green gunk and are you supposed to eat it? I felt so wasteful getting a whole lobster put down on my plate, and only eating the claws and tail.

Any advice on eating lobster?

It's called the roe, and considered by some to be the best part of the lobster.

I think it's nasty.

Proper name for it is tamale, I think that it sucks. Claws and tail are where it's at. The legs also have some nice sweet meat if you suck it out of them. I have lobstered for years and really am not a fan. I might eat about 4 a year. I know that my wife and a bunch of lobstermen love the tamale but I look it as liver in other words inedible.

I'd prefer a big old pile of crab over lobster. To me, it just tastes better.

Pretty much good advice in general. Stay away from broccoli, spinach, cucumbers, etc.

Yall are nuts for eatin any of it at all IMO. My wife loves lobster but I hate it.

Scottw · 08-08-2009, 06:13 PM

Damn that looked like a good time!!

The green part is nasty and I'm not one the waste food. The Tomalley fulfills the functions of the liver and pancreas.

Tenor CS · 08-08-2009, 08:05 PM

Scott, did a lobster that big actually taste any good?

Actually bro, it did. It was probably one of the better Lobsters I have had which is suprising considering the "experts" say that the bigger the lobster, the tougher and less sweet it is, not true in this case.

Poor fella put up a helluva fight though!

ucla695 · 08-08-2009, 08:10 PM

I stick to the tail and claws. I'm not adventurous enough to eat the other stuff.

dunng · 08-08-2009, 08:30 PM

Just got back from Maine last night... give the lobstah men some time to catch back up from my visit!

shilala · 08-08-2009, 10:55 PM

When lobster's good and sweet, it's hard to beat. When it tastes like iodine, blech.
I love lobster. I don't eat the tamale. I don't do that with crawfish either. If I want some poop, I'll hit the litter box.

Grilled lobster basted with butter can't be beat, but I do love me some snow crab, too. I think I enjoy clams the most though. Depends the mood I'm in.
I can eat snow crab and shrimp pretty much any day.

I will stick to cow, pig & chicken thank you.
