See? You can trust that guy.

The starfish, I mean.

Obviously.

Nobody but a fool would trust the guy in the hat.

I don't see why not.

Sad thing is, there are lobsters here, but nobody wants em.
My brother used to catch em when he'd go to Jupiter.
Florida: everything is frozen and pre-packaged here.

(not everything, but most things)

No, there are langoustines there. Real lobsters do not live farther south than Rhode Island. If it doesn't have a pair of big-ass claws, it's not a lobster.

Though spiny "lobster" are delicious. I actually prefer their flavor to the flavor of real lobster, but real lobster is about 1000x more tender.

Well I guess these guys were just wearing big ass claws that they ripped off of some other creature, then.
Only been here for 30 yrs but you know... fact is fact I suppose. ::shrug::
Either way, dungeness crab beats lobster any day, but a good lobster roll is something that can't be found here.

Chesapeake Blue Crab. Grew up on it.

Pain in the ass to get the meat out, but damn. That's the shit.

I'll say it: I don't really like lobster that much.

The only exception is when I had fresh-killed lobster sushi. That was pretty amazing.

I love lobster. Primarily for its profitability.

For my own mouth-hole, I vastly prefer crab.

And as I said, though it's a bit tougher I love the flavor of the false lobsters. Spiny lobster is great, slipper lobster is even better.

I fucking love crab. And on the West coast, in my opinion there is no finer crab, for flavor, than rock crab, which NOBODY fishes commercially. They are smaller and harder to crack, but they are sublime.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

If you love scallops, you would.

I'm generally a little too old and have been through a few too many ups and downs to bother being boastful about shit, but I truly believe that there is not a human being alive who is better with a fresh sea scallop than I am.

If I had to make one dish to save my life or win a billion dollars or some shit like that you can guaran-goddamn-tee it will involve a seared diver scallop that is perfectly medium-rare all the way through except for the seared exterior.

I came.

Though IMO no preparation in the world beats eating one fresh out of the shell while it's still alive.

So, I spent my 11-18 years in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, and I think that one of the things about being an island kid is the understanding that eating things alive right out of the water is THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY.

I don't know what animal you are talking about but if it's caught in Florida waters it's not the same animal I'm talking about.

[East Coast Hustle]

They do apparently live as far south as Cape Hatteras, though the catch for NC, VA, MD, and Delaware combined makes up less than 0.1% of the total reported catch most years.

Whatever, that Spock picture is fucking killing me.

If this was the future, Spock would be correcting ECH nonfuckingstop, until he lost his shit, did that shoulder pinch thing on ECH, and then mind-melded with Michelle Bachman as a particularly grotesque form of suicide.
