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.

    I think they are just expensive because they are rare and fragile, not because they are magically delicious.

    Most of the snooty rich people food are like this. It’s also why they’re so threatened by cheap mass produced alternatives. If the knockoffs were actually significantly inferior in flavour they wouldn’t be threatened.
