Do you eat lobster or crab email this discussion to a friend?

Went to dinner last night with my husband, I ordered crab legs and shrimp, he ordered shrimp and steak.

He refuses to even try crab or lobster because they are 'too much work'. I love both of them and the work involved in eating them gives me time to savor the flavor and enjoy my food.

So do you avoid eating a food because it is too much work or is the taste worth the work to you? How do crab and lobster rank on your list of foods?

I like them, but I agree they need work. I think they are good to eat but do require some effort. You spend alot of time with the shells and it is an issue.

You know to lose weight they say you should eat slow...maybe this is nature's way to get us healthy!

Hi Deb_place,



We don't go out to eat, I just cook all the time and if I want to eat crab and lobster which I love very much, I just cook it myself and make a pig of myself and don't have to be embarass in front of people, I enjoy eating at home.

So you don't mind the work either. I have never cooked crab and home and lobster only once...it is something I should consider...the dinner was very costly.

I absolutely love crab legs. They are worth the work to me. I've never had a whole lobster but I have had a lobster tail and that is delicious as well. The shrimp is heavenly to. I guess you could say I just love sea food all the way around. lol.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6758)   ranked 38 out of 5,517 in eating  1 year ago

Absolutely...I will dip a few pieces in butter but for the most part I eat it plain. I think the shell is part of the experience.

Do you like fish too?

I love crab, but I don't think I have ever eaten it in the form of crab legs. It does seem a lot of effort, and although I'd try it if offered. I doubt I'd order it that way. I love it in things, though; crab cakes, salad, etc.

I don't like lobster at all. Work or not, I won't eat it. it smells awful to me, and I can't get past that.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6758)   ranked 38 out of 5,517 in eating  1 year ago

I never have thought of lobster as smelling bad.

I really don't like crab cakes...or maybe it is the ingredients in them. But I do love it in salad as well.


Love scampi but I am not a fish eater.


myLot reputation of 86/100. itsmefaith (2236)   ranked 60 out of 5,517 in eating  1 year ago

I didn't used to like fish either, but in the last year I have developed a taste for some of it. I like salmon and had some talapia the other day that was pretty good.

I love lobster, crab, shrimp, fish and I am sure there are more seafood that I do love except for oysters. A grocery store we have here makes so very good fresh crab dip. It is so good.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6758)   ranked 38 out of 5,517 in eating  1 year ago

Not a fish lover and you are right - oysters, mussels and octopus are really high on my gross list.

crab dip -- that sounds real good with the holidays coming up.


myLot reputation of 90/100. sanjana_aslam (1850)   ranked 496 out of 5,517 in eating  1 year ago

I love them both. I love seafood. The taste is definitely worth the work. I'm getting hungry just by reading this. The only seafood I have the fridge is some cooked shrimp, but that want satisfy my crave, lol.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6758)   ranked 38 out of 5,517 in eating  1 year ago

Yes, a little shrimp should do it... do you have some cocktail sauce?

I will be over real soon!

I have ate both. I usually don't buy them or fix
them at home. I've always been in a restuarant while
eating these. I don't buy them, because they are really
expensive and right now we don't have it to splurge.
I think a little extra work is good while eating sometimes
it does help you to savor the taste more. I like lobster
more than crab, although both are really good.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6758)   ranked 38 out of 5,517 in eating  1 year ago

We normally don't go out and eat like that either but it was a difficult day for us.

I can definitely agree with not having money to splurge

myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6758)   ranked 38 out of 5,517 in eating  1 year ago

But do you order them in spite of the work or is it a deterrent to your ordering it.

That is so unfortunate! He is missing out on a real treat for his palate because of a little laziness? I remember as a child being allowed to sample crab, but my parents wouldn't really let me and my siblings eat any great amounts of it until we learned how to shell and get to the meat safely (or reasonabley so) ourselves. i like lobster too. for each food I do have to be in the mood to do the work, but I must say that the taste is well worth the effort.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6758)   ranked 38 out of 5,517 in eating  1 year ago

that is exactly the way I feel, you have time to savor the taste...you sit there and enjoy. A steak is gone in a few minutes...the time to eat the shelled food makes the experience last much longer.

hi debs

i just love them ... especially when i cook them .. autentic indian dish with thick gravy ...

believe me the gravy taste better than the crab or lobster ...

yummy ... but of course .. the lazy husband chapter, i will peel and remove the shell for him ..

we normally try to eat at home, as it is messy and our meal will take almost 1 hour to clean .. i have the receipe in my blog if interested ...

cheers


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6758)   ranked 38 out of 5,517 in eating  1 year ago

I think we can there are people who would be interested in a new recipe...please post a link.

It sounds like your husband is a lucky man, having you remove the shells for him.

Thanks
