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?

Reply to this commentWhen 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?
Reply to this commentshow us a picture of the entire lobster!
Reply to this commentdang that’s a big lobster! I’m guessing 8 pounds - half of it in the claw!
Reply to this commentIf I don’t see the body and tail, no I can’t guess.
Reply to this commentI 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.
Reply to this commentOK, 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!

Reply to this commentI am with the majority here, would say the lobster is between 8 and ten pounds.
Reply to this commentI would have to say between eight and ten pounds. Hope it was delicious!
Reply to this commentHow 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.
Reply to this commentWow thats a pretty big lobster! How much have you spent on food so far? seems like over 1000 $$$ lol
Reply to this commentI bet John didn’t even have to pay for the tab.
That lobster looks very expensive LOL.
Reply to this commentthat´s a great arm !!!
Reply to this commentdamn that thing is huge!
Reply to this commentThats 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?
Reply to this commentMy John. *blush*
That’s a…um…big lobster.
Reply to this commentMaybe it’s from Maine?
Reply to this commentI just would not care to play with my food before I eat it.
Reply to this commentOh my god that’s huge!
It’s all of the toxic chemicals polluting Toronto, bet the thing was radio active too :P.

Reply to this commentSo how heavy was the ginormous lobster, John?
Reply to this commentGood lord, that is a huge lobster.
Reply to this commentI 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?
Reply to this commentLobsters are creepy looking but the blue ones are beautiful have you ever had a blue lobster?
Reply to this commentI Think that it is wonderfull!! mayby 2 pounds?
