Why you should NEVER eat Lobster!

[Bsto270]

This whole thread makes me want to go tuna fishing and go have seared tuna and a side of lobster tail...

If anyone finds themselves on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, the best yellow fin sushi I've ever had in a restaurant was here:

Best yellow fin sushi ever was on the boat somewhere off the coast of Mexico.

the way to eat the YF, is as soon as it hits the deck one of the boys spines it , another prepares it and then we all eat it .
don't know about sushi resturants , phil . never been in one ....
five minutes dead , makes it fresh in my book ,mate
one of the crew makes some dip up out of vinegar soy garlic and ginger , off the deck , into the galley , and down the gullet........

 

[bluey]

well get on your bike ,mate .
save some tuna for me , its about 3 months to early yet in my neck of the woods


the time of day makes me want another coffee , can of redbull and pray for the daylight ,so im not so bloody tired .......

I wish Bluey, it is about the end of Bluefin fishing further north, with Yellowfin not coming back around my side of the world until next summer. Between now and then, a little bit of sea bass and striped bass if I get the gumption. Right now its time for deer and squirrel.

piece of squirrel pie sounds delicious ,mate ..........
and deer , I must go and get one before too much longer
while I was in Africa , my daughter thought she would clear out the freezers , and fed all the good meat to the bloody cats and dog............
first opportunity , I need to restock .......................

I got my wife contemplating if she can make a pie crust of the savory variety. I also warned her not to be too picky in the upcoming gun season, as we are tapped completely out as well (although I can say nothing went to the dog). First I need to go bag about 6-8 squirrels (my little brother already committed to a squirrel dinner invitation). If the weather is decent Saturday, I am gonna give it a whack.

 

[bluey]

sounds like a plan , Brandon....
you will have to send me some photos ,mate .....

What in the heck is a crayfish????

I do love me some crawfish. And nothing like a good cajun bisque. That must be where those French folks learned to make it.

Crayfish is almost excatly like lobster. Some unsavory restaurants will try to sell that for lobster. Being a lobster fan I think people who refuse to try it don't know what there missing.

@johnnyblues i find the crayfish meat a bit sweeter than lobster, and in some parts of southern europe they sell them as lobsters as well.

I had a second look at the original post, and it made me chuckle a bit. I remember when I brought live ones home for the first time. Right around 2lb a piece. Fresh out of massachusetts, drove home with a cooler full of cod fillets and another with 2 lobsters in it on wet paper. I get home, and my wife is excited for lobster dinner. She had not, however, ever cooked live shellfish before other than clams and the like. She didnt know about the "skitter effect" as I call it , when crabs especially are tossed in the water and they straight up skitter around. Live cooking her meat was not something she had really had a chance to see.

So I get out my largest pot, and it turns out that it is really borderline for a pair of 2lb Lobsters. I get the water rocking and boiling. I snip the bands on the claws, grab em with grill tongs, and in they go. I put the lid on, and holy smokes a claw shoves the lid back off. At this point Ashlee (who hunts and such so usually is not too squeamish) actually looks a bit concerned. I ended up holding the lid down with a pot holder on my hand until all the clinking and clacking stopped.

Despite it all, after we finished, she declared the live cooking process "Totally worth it..."

When I went crabbing this summer , I caught a few spider crabs of some sort. The color and odd amount of crud sticking to them pretty much convinced me I wasnt going to keep them. The blue crabs on the other hand......
