Well, I was raised on Nova Scotia lobster which is better than anything from Maine because the water is colder which makes them sweeter and more tender.
But I won't cook them (Erica and I tried that once, was that an adventure!) and I've started getting skeeved out by the whole ones. I don't mind the work, I'm just not fond of my meal looking at me.
Interesting fact: lobsters don't "scream" when you cook them. The noise is the air leaving their bodies. Which is pretty fvcking cruel and the reason if you do boil them you are supposed to put them in the boiling water, head first. Kills them instantly.
I was watching some show on Food Network and they were pulling tails off and opening them up while they were still alive. That was horrid to watch.
