dubq 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 It has a shrimp taste but the texture is very different. Personally, I hate shrimp but love lobster, and that's because of the texture differences. I don't know how to explain it.. the only thing I can equate eating shimp with is like eating bubble wrap, lol. Over and above that, I'd say Alaska King Crab is the way to go when it comes to seafood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubq 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 Probably. My girlfriend swears by it, but I had a bad experience when I was a kid. Really undercooked, and there was a vein involved. Totally put me off shrimp for a good 10 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 When I am in the mood for seafood, I usually try to hit up a buffet, because Shrimp, Crab, Lobster and the like don't fill me up, so I don't feel like spending $25 for a Lobster tail that feels like eating a snack. Even though at buffets you suffer a dip in quality, ala there is less crab meat PER crab leg, but since you can grab as much as you want, that makes up for it. There is a brand new buffet that opened up right by the place I watch Wrestling PPVS at, so I am thinking of next Sunday hitting it up after the PPV, it is one of those asian food/seafood hybrid buffets, a lot of them seem to be popping up lately.

Give it a chance when it's done properly, and you'll probably change your mind. I was the same way, I thought it was gross until I had had it done properly and it was fucking amazing.

dubq 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 Crab > Lobster. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have to agree there, and I love both of them. Though, it has to be real crab. None of that crap that has pollock or whiting mixed in with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 Around here, years ago when lobsters were more plentiful, they were regarded as a poor man's food; that is, you ate lobster only because you couldn't afford to buy anything better. It amazes me that people pay so much money for what are essentially giant, shit-eating, sea ants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
