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.

Well yeah, lobster that isn't fresh off the boat sucks ass. There's a HUGE difference in taste between a live lobster that's been recently pulled from the seawater and a live lobster that's been sitting in a fake seawater tank in a supermarket and/or wholesaler holding tank.

That explains why the lobster I've had has been far from impressive.

Yep. I mean, how good would a plate of totchos be if you boxed them up and sent them to Maine?

Yeah, not good at all.

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.

Congrats on the article!

I've had both, pulled right from the pots on the beach in Hawaii. OMFG, store-bought lobster simply doesn't compare. Fresh lobster is more tender, but I prefer the taste of the spiny/slipper langoustines.

Lobster's fine but it ain't got a thing on scallops.

ECH I'd love to visit your restaurant.

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.

It's a "you get out of it what you put into it" thing with food like that, and there is not a piece of meat in the world that I love more than a fresh sea scallop so if I'm making them for someone else they're gonna taste all that love.

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

I've never heard of people eating them, but why not?

I was going to say due to my general distaste for driving, a 5+ hour trip is probably not going to happen but then this post gave me a mild erection.

You've got yourself a challenge then, because I'm not the biggest fan of scallops either.

What seems like a universal exception, at this point: I enjoyed scallop sashimi.

See? You can trust that guy.

The starfish, I mean.

Obviously.

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