I'm not a fan of crab, except in "Sushi" (California Rolls, really. They aren't real sushi.)

Lobster I don't mind once in a while, but it's not my favorite food.

Shrimp I can eat by the pound. Mmmm.

Much h8 for the shrimps. Blech!

Shrimp salad, shrimp sandwiches, shrimp cocktail, shrimp gumbo...

All universally yucky.

Crabs. Lobsters hurt where crabs just itch.

Blue crab is regional here, and I grew up catching them and eating them the same day, so my preference is fresh blue crab over lobster for taste, though lobster is light years easier to clean and get the meat.

That said, there is a restaurant on St. Thomas, called Mimi's if its still there, that has a coconut lobster dish is one of the best lobsters I have ever had, and would take that over the best blue crab cakes hands down.

Up here in Boston there's place that makes fried lobster, which is very, very good. I'd still take some good crab cakes over that any day though.

That.

I just can't do seafood, texture, smell, taste, nothing appetizing about it to me.

Crab > Lobster.

Love Snow and King. Do not like Dunguness. Funky taste.

Fresh Blue Crab, boiled and seasoned, or Crawfish, same game.

I like fresh stuff, and both I can catch or buy fresh locally.

Man, this is hard. If you're talking just bringing me a plate of one or the other critters, then, probably lobster. I HATE cracking and pulling the meat from crab legs. I've done the Maryland crab bake thing, found it a PITA. But, if I can pay someone else to do that and eat a crab cake, then, that's another story.

When I was a kid, my mom used to take me out for lobster on my birthday (surf and turf, actually). We used to go to the same restaurant every time, but when I was 12 or 13 or something, we tried another place that had live lobsters. I got to pick one out, they brought it past, the whole thing. I wasn't traumatized by the idea of them having to kill it, etc., but when they brought it to me and started detailing all of the internal organs that are considered "delicacies," I kind of lost my appetite for it. Took me a while to get back into it, but I'm OK now.

Ah, looks like it was the tomalley, or "liver" (digestive system). Yeah, I distinctly remember that part. From a site on how to eat a lobster:



I'd be OK with the roe. I can wrap my head around that. Not so much the digestive system. Probably the same reason the thought of menudo doesn't do much for me.

Edit: And, who the hell doesn't love shrimp? Crap, my 5-year old loves shrimp. Although I will say that eating about 4 bowls of shrimp at a happy hour, mixed with gin and tonics, does not do the trick.

Yum....

I grew up eating blue crab and was introduced to crawfish as an adult. Lobster is a bit too bland for my tastes.

Much love for Crab!! I have to choose it over lobster.

Shrimp is one thing I just don't like. I like all other seafood, but not shrimp. I'll eat them, sure- especially if I can catch them fresh- but I don't go out of my way to eat them, for sure.

Oysters, fish, other shellfish- none of them bother me, just shrimp.

Interesting. Is it the "cockroach of the sea" thing?! That's what a friend of mine used to call them.

I hate shrimp. Had a bad experience with them when I was younger.

After having honest to goodness Maine lobster while on tour, there is no contest.

Live Maine Lobster - 25 dollars

Wine - 7 dollar glass

A table of people eating lobster in front of a vegetarian tour director with serious issues about eating animals - priceless. Poor woman. To her credit, she muscled through it without a word. Mad props to her intestinal fortitude.

Yup and



Yup.

Although this is a tough one. My pops used to bring us out to catch our own crab down at the shore. That was a fantastic experience and when he cleaned them and cooked them into a ragu with some linguine it was absolutely phenomenal.

However just on it's own a fresh, well cooked lobster is a cut above. I want to use the analogy of a really good burger and a really good steak. Both are good but one is just on that other level.

Staying in Bar Harbor, Maine and having lobster literally every night was an experience I want to do over and over. Whale watching during the day and a fresh steamed lobster with some drawn butter at night. Oh yeah.
