That thing looks like the hatchling from alien.

I don't eat Lobster but isn't cracking the shell half the fun?

And of course, I haven't even started about the wonders of the Japanese-sushi diet.

That is pretty cool - the idea and implementation - though, I'd be more impressed if all the pieces were connected.

So, I'm guessing the lobster would be sauteed rather than boiled now?

Looks nasty and all that but, it also looks like you get the most meat (all?) that way.

No... too damn messy if you ask me... I'd rather just have the meat, but I will admit that I do like the look of a breaded stuffed lobster on a plate (with shell and all).

I actually still have a couple of lobster pots in the backyard... they are the only ones remaining form the batch my dad made 20 something years ago when we had about 25 traps off of Westport, MA....
