Sol Diabler Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 seems like you are being sarcastic... have you tried lobster without salt and hot butter? kind of a nothing taste. if you really think you have a natural love of lobster, that has nothing to do with pop culture, then go grab a raw one and eat it! there is a placebo effect to everything, that's the only reason these fancy restaurants can charge $450 for 4 people to eat there and still have a line people line up to throw their money away when they could buy a $5 box of twinkies and have something that tastes better I was being sarcastic. But I do think there is some truth to your point. For sure. But not with just lobster. I think the same could be said for a lot of different food. I have had some great lobster, and I have had some very bland and tasteless lobster. I think it really depends on what type of lobster it is, and how it is prepared. But that could be said for all sorts of different foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bear Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Think they have one of these at the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace in Vegas. Would like to give it a try sometime.you are correct. Joes Stone Crab > Joe's Crab Shack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bear Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 WVU, here is an interesting fact about those Stone Crabs They don't actually kill the Crabs that you eat. These Crabs are caught and 1 Claw is removed from the Crab and then the Crab is thrown back into the Ocean. The Stone Crab much like a lizard's tail will re-grow itself back to normal. This is known as a sustainable seafood. pretty cool huh? Its like the exact opposite of what those Chinese assholes are doing catching those Sharks and cutting the Shark fin off and throwing them back in the ocean. That actually kills the Shark which very cruel. But Chinese also eat cats so they are very a strange breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love seafood. It doesnt have to be fancy to taste good though. In Islamorada FL most places serve the food on paper plates but it all taste amazing. Also IMO the Dungeness Crab taste better than Lobster but those huge Florida Lobster tails are great on the grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also IMO the Dungeness Crab taste better than Lobster but those huge Florida Lobster tails are great on the grill taste buds change they probably have spices and hot butter on that seafood, different from the old days when those workers would have it in their contract that they wouldn't eat lobster. same as steak, nobody would eat it if it wasn't cooked and spiced... we're the only animals that eat food that we wouldn't naturally eat raw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bear Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Keep meaning to go there and never have......i saw it on Man vs Food so i decided to go. Its a casual atmosphere, friendly asian chicks as servers, they served bottled beers with only a few choices... beers werent exceptionally cold.. but you can choose from King Crab, Snow Crab, Dungeness Crab, Blue Crab, Shrimp and they bring it out to you with corn and potatos in these plastic bags and dump it on your table. Very tastey but messy. Great spot to hit up on the way to the Orleans casino for some college hoops action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we can add seafood at high end restaurant snobs to the list. totally agree with diabler here i eat the casino buffet for free at least 5 times a week (run by bartolotta)... it has more choices and better food than 99% of all restaurants and there's no waiting/tipping/pretentiousness/etc i can't imagine spending 450 for my family to eat, even if i bring them to the casino buffet it only costs me $50 worth of points. and my son eats more than $50 worth of pizza lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
