buddyjo143 Posted March 31, 2007 #51 Share Posted March 31, 2007 in the 20th century, lobster was looked at as a poor mans food and often fed to slaves or used as fertilizer. my how times have changed:/ i'd give anything if lobster were 8.00/lb in Tn. i'm going to have at least 3. In colonial times they were also fed to prisoners so often that they complained. Now that would be cruel and unusual punishment:rolleyes: :p . As a Massachusetts/now New Hampshire girl who helped my uncles pull lobster pots off the coast of Nova Scotia, I have to agree that the cold water lobster is best. But I'll settle for rock lobster any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinGrams Posted March 31, 2007 #52 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I am not ashamed to say I had three a couple of years back on RCL but they were teeny tiny. I love Lobster and Crab equally and will definately order more than one at a time. Can anyone tell me how big/small they are (generally)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathiggy Posted March 31, 2007 #53 Share Posted March 31, 2007 We always order 1 lobster each then order the prime rib to share. I love prawns, white fish and crab. Cannot seem to get enough. I always order the white fish is they have it. The last time I licket the plate clean and the waiter said " I guess you didn't like it very much did you".

Dawn125408 Posted March 31, 2007 #54 Share Posted March 31, 2007 This will be our first cruise, but from what I've read, the lobster on Carnival are small also. I'm used to Maine lobster because we vacation there often - but any lobster will do:D Can't beat Maine - but what the heck. I love any kind of lobster.

aussie57 Posted March 31, 2007 #55 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Just back from Auckland to Sydney on Sapphire Princess. The Head Chef said lobster night they used 4400. Just think how many lobsters the cruise lines are going through! Are they endangered? Or are they being farmed somewhere? Yummy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piton1 Posted March 31, 2007 #59 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Lobster. The real deal. You can't beat it when it's fresh but you can sure walk away from it when it isn't. I wouldn't eat a frozen tail if given the choice of other items on the menu. That's not because I'm a snob, that's because I truly love lobster. Really, if you want a real experience eating a good lobster, plan a vacation to New England, and enjoy all the lobster and clams and mussels, along with some good locally-brewed beer. If you never thought about it, eating locally-grown food, etc., is a fine new idea that's ages old. Which means eating lobster in Iowa would be unheard of. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink roses Posted June 19, 2007 #60 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Do even the 3-4 day cruises serve lobster? last year Carnival bragged that Lobster was served on every ship, every trip.

linda_22003 Posted June 20, 2007 #67 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Okay I have to say, I have never had lobster...I KNOW I KNOW.I am not a big seafood person & my mother is allergic to shellfish. So out of fear that I too have that allergy, I have not tried it. So that means you have never had shrimp, or crawfish, or scallops, or mussels? Wow. That, along with lobster, would eliminate dinner at least three nights a week, at my house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda_22003 Posted June 20, 2007 #68 Share Posted June 20, 2007 in the 20th century, lobster was looked at as a poor mans food and often fed to slaves or used as fertilizer. Back in my 20's, it was my "poor man's food", too. My roommate and I lived on the North Shore above Boston, and had "bar buddies" who were lobstermen. When we were TOTALLY out of money, the guys would give us lobsters they couldn't sell to restaurants (culls - one claw - or others that were banged up), so we could have dinner. I got so tired of lobster. I got over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golf43 Posted June 20, 2007 #70 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Me too. I just love lobster....all hands are up. When I was a teenager many years ago I ate so much lobster that I got sick. Very sick. For a few years I could not go near it. Then one day I decided to try it again. Now I just love eating it. I am careful to make sure I eat other foods too. Since lobster is so rich, I do not want to get that sick again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name game Posted June 20, 2007 #73 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Okay I have to say, I have never had lobster...I KNOW I KNOW.I am not a big seafood person & my mother is allergic to shellfish. So out of fear that I too have that allergy, I have not tried it. Plus something that expensive here in Missouri, I would hate for it to go to waste. I do however plan on trying it on the boat. Since I don’t have to pay for it:) So that means you have never had shrimp, or crawfish, or scallops, or mussels? Wow. That, along with lobster, would eliminate dinner at least three nights a week, at my house! Smiles32617 - I know your cruise was a couple of months ago and I don't know if you even check the boards anymore, but did you try the lobster? Did you enjoy it?
