Say Hi To Dinner - It’s Giving You The Claw

written by John Chow on April 21st, 2007

I don’t know what they feed lobsters in Toronto, but this has to be one of the biggest live lobster I’ve ever seen. No, I didn’t eat it live like that lobster in Shanghai. Other than pulling it out of the tank and saying, “Look how big this thing is!” I didn’t torment it too much. So all you lobster lovers don’t have to get mad at me for disrespecting a lobster.

Can you guess how many pounds it was?

I’m guessing 11 pounds

When you say you didnt torment the lobster other than taking it out of the water, does that mean you didnt eat it? or did you?

If I don’t see the body and tail, no I can’t guess.
I am originally from Maine, and the claws, I know, don’t necessarily reflect the weight and aren’t necessarily as old as the lobster!

So you’re back home in Toronto, John? That’s a big lobster alright; from the looks of it I’d say it weighs around 10 lbs.

OK, I got my geography all mixed up — my bad, John! When are you heading home anyways? If you did devour that lobster, I’m sure you’d be full for days!

How much did that cost? Lobster’s running about $14/lbs straight from the fishermen out here in Nova Scotia. I can’t imagine what something like that must have cost from a restaurant in Toronto.

Thats a pretty good sized one, I’d guess around 12 pounds. BTW, my experience is that lobsters from Northeast North America are the tastiest, much better than lobsters from warmer waters. Do you agree?

I have always had a hard time with lobsters over 5 pounds, the flesh is just too tough and stringy compared to the 1.5 to 3 pounders, what did you think?

I wish I could enjoy lobster, I’m allergic to seafood, but from what I hear, Lobster and Crab are AMAZING! :wink:
