We do have a lot of "Days" here in the US. :rolleyes:

I am a bad New Englander and do not like lobster.


Do you like lobster? How do you like it?

Have not had many lobsters. I do like it better than crab. I am a New Englander also. I really love lobster rolls. I mean a really good one, but they are all so expensive.  

I think I have only had one whole lobster, in my entire life. I did like it, but it was too much work for me...I am not the type of person who likes to eat with their hands and make a mess...

I would rather have some good scallops. I mean really fresh sea scallops...yum..

A friend took us for lobster and steak meal once. I really thought it was far over rated and I have never eaten it since.

the tail is the best part dipped in butter! I love lobster but buy it already shelled. Too lazy. I prefer some good small full belly CLAMS! And fresh Haddock!!

I have had lobster a few times. Its a lot of work and ate two lobster rolls in one sitting and was still hungry. :/ They have to butter the bun and cook it on the grill until its crispy = no soggy bread! And the lobster must have just enough mayo to hold it together but not too much. Ahhh summer is what this reminds me.

We have seafood places all around us here in NH. in Rochester is a place called Jimmy Jones and they have good seafood but I don't know about the lobster...now I am hungry!!!!!

I am not a huge fan of shellfish in general  Since I'm not I usually don't spend or want someone else spending the money for it for me.  I actually prefer many types of fish to shellfish.

I love every part of a lobster. And I'm a notorious messy eater.

I sometimes boil them at home (preferred method). I like to save up the shells (I freeze them) and when I have enough use it to make lobster stock for seafood risotto.  SO YUMMY

I'm a Mainer (now transplanted to the Pacific NW) and I dislike lobster...in any form. I even dated a lobsterman for two years. We always joke that my dislike of lobsters is what broke us up [emoji]128514[/emoji]
