And someone who had watched animals chow down on oysters.

And Vibrio?????

I think the really bold and starving man was the first one to discover castoreum, the flavor-enhancer produced by the anal scent glands of beavers.

Makes sense:) $23 for a lobster roll here last week at the local seafood place.

And for that price, you could get a decent steak and a whole bag of charcoal to grill it!

Not to be disrespectful, but some people don’t have sensitive tastebuds. You may be one of them.

[LongWayHome]

Could be...I am a deplorable!

[Libloather]

How far from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant did they find that thing?

[VastRWCon]

Probably taste like crap

[sphinx]

Come to think of it … I wonder how old that lobster was.

Vacuum packed?

No, but well wrapped in plastic wrap, something Costco doesn’t do. I’ve kept them at subzero temps. for over year and they’ve still come out good.

Lobsters used to be ground up and used as fertilizer. Nobody thought they were edible or worth eating.

[Inspectorette]

Back in the small New England town where I grew up, our local supermarket had a live lobster tank and a big steamer. You could select your lobster, finish the rest of your shopping, then come back to pick your freshly steamed lobster. I vaguely remember the price at about $2.00/pound.

During the Revolutionary War the Continental Army fed lobsters to the prisoners! I bet they got sick of them.

[mabarker1]

That’s because COSTCO has them all !

[DAC21]

Shame they harvested a lobster of that size. It could have made a lot more bank as a live specimen somewhere. Sucker must have been 30 years old or more?

[SunkenCiv]

:^) Sharp knife, hot skillet, blob of butter...

[PIF]

Seafood glazed, flash frozen and vacuum packed last longest keep below 25 degrees

[libstripper]

Try -10 Fahrenheit.

I hope it was really old, because if it was young we’d be in BIG TROUBLE!..............

[Red Badger]

OH, the huge manatee!.......................

That’s not too far from me, down the road in Shediac NB.
