What does eating lobster have to do with the inflated price of lobster in the west? Lobster is not that rare, it's over priced and other countries don't charge ridiculous prices for it.

Name these countries and explain your experience in them. I don't think you actually have any.

They are. They're the type of place you take your family to for a nice dinner. You can even order steaks and cocktails and wine.

Here I thought they meant the meat and not the whole damn thing.

What type of lobster are we talking about here? The lobsters they have in the Caribbean are plentiful but they aren't that good. That's why they practically give the things away down there. I'm not sure of the variety of lobster they have near China or where they are sourcing them but if they are from the Caribbean then 15 bucks is not really a deal.

Any time I've have had a Maine lobster both here in the U.S. and abroad they have been expsensive. Those are much better than any other variety I've tasted.

Would you say King Crab is overpriced because you can get Tanner for much less?

Woulda been much better if the lobster was pre-shelled and they put the meat all over the pie instead.

Venice had a lot of weird pizzas like this too.

My favorite was a pizza that had hot dog slices, fries, and ground beef.

It was actually the best pizza I had there.

I didn't know Spinluck moved to Venice!

Pizza Hut in China are so different. They are more like restaurants that also make pizzas instead of just a pizza joint. I went to one in Beijing that the food was surprisingly decent.

I've never eaten a lobster.

You should try it.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

You should try it.

He should go to Red Lobster for the cheddar biscuits at the very least.

For those unaware, back in the early 19th century lobster was a poor mans food, given to slaves and prisoners. There is little reason for it to be so pricy today

Yes there is. It's called 'overfishing' a.k.a. "strip-mining the seas".

Back in the old days a 20-pounder was considered a decent weight for a lobster. Find me one this size today. Largest lobster ever caught was twice that.

Lobsters need decades to grow (they grow throughout their entire lives and have lifespans almost as long as ours).

It's the same with stuff like oysters and truffles. We've viciously fucked up a good thing in repeated cases.
