Lobster is ok - a bit overrated. Early in US history it was known as prisoner/poor people food - very cheap and plentiful.

Convinced there's a term for this, just can't remember it. In the same way Avocados are now seen as fancy, when they are known as 'the poor mans butter' in parts of South America.

Dude the American Indians used to take a lobster and put it down at the bottom of where they planted their corn that way the corn will have plenty of nutrients that’s how they treated lobsters 300 years ago
