I'm hoping to eat at Red Lobster this weekend, the four course feast is tempting me (and I am craving fish)

The four-course does sound good, at least it looks good on the tv commercials.

BTW, milk that "cravings" thing for as long as you can...:yes:

You know, she hasn't used that once yet. She's bad at drama. It just doesn't seem to occur to her.

Yeah, I am not sure on the whole craving thing. I feel like eating something, but I haven't had a "I have to have it" type of feeling...so I don't milk it well at all. :sad:

Many other good places too. These are just off the top of my head.

... Dude, the price of lobster has dropped 80% in the last four years... my ex-roomate in NYC is the largest lobster dealer in the NYC fish market... go buy 3 deuces (2-pounders) live ; for less than the cost of hamburger per pound and flip over a metal mixing bowl in a boiling pot and steam them til' pink ... Nova Scotia lobsters are are far more incredible than a Maine lobster or..... aheemmmm... Red Lobster which will be far more expensive and frozen which is totally unacceptable....and the knuckle of the claw is the "honeyhole" of a lobster...The best place is in your kitchen... LIVE !!!!!:smile:buy male lobsters if possible... the whole female roe egg thing is scurvy to me...

I am truly sorry to be a bumweenie about the lobster theory... if you are into scallops make sure they are true sea scallops and not bay scallops or cookie-cuttered out cod... as far as shrimp go... I'm sure your eyeball and tastebuds are sharp as a tack !!! ENJOY !!!!:smile:( the 4 courses of shrimp in garlic butter turn me on... but everybody is different)

So, to summarize....the honeyhole is best in the kitchen, with a male....females are scurvy..... That is so completely not right.

....OOhhhhhh Boise....hmmmm... thought this would be addressed at some time in life....eating the eggs of stuff that tastes like **** never occured to me...especially when a female can procreate a male lobster 10 X over...

That's great if you live in the Northeast and have easy access to live seafood. How about if you live in the Midwest? Any idea where I can go to get lobster for less than $4/lb? Yeah, me neither.
