That would be lots of meat which is good
but...
Bigger lobster's meat won't be as tender as small lobster's
cuz
I've had a 5 lb lobster b4 and the meat it's as great as an avg 1-2 pounder |

That's true.
I usually eat Lobsters from the West Coast of Australia (they are a small tender type of lobster). Ive had a large (& freaken expensive) South Oz lobster & I didnt think too highly of it. It was not as tasty or as tender as the west coast one.
Tonight Im gonna try a Medium South Australian Lobster! :p :p :p Ill post how good it was tonight! ;) ;) |

CNN had the best story:
Bubba', 22-pound lobster, to be saved

Bubba, a 22-pound lobster, is seen in a tank at Wholey's fish market in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Image:
PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AP) -- He could have survived two world wars and Prohibition. He also could have been dinner.
He's Bubba, a 22-pound leviathan of a lobster pulled from the waters off Nantucket, Massachusetts, and shipped to a Pittsburgh fish market.
On Tuesday, Owner Bob Wholey gave the lobster to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, which will send him to an aquarium at a Ripley's Believe It or Not museum.
"It is overwhelming," Wholey said. "If you see it, you will never forget it. Customers are just in awe."
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent Wholey a letter asking him to work with the group to release Bubba back in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maine.
Another group calling itself People For Eating Tasty Animals reportedly offered Wholey a hefty price for the lobster. At Tuesday's price of $14.98 a pound, Bubba would retail for about $350.
Based on how long it typically takes a lobster to reach eating size -- about five to seven years to grow to a pound -- some estimate Bubba is 100 years old.
But Bob Bayer, executive director of the University of Maine's Lobster Institute, is skeptical and estimates that Bubba is likely 50 years old. Warm water and plenty of food may have more to do with a lobster's size than how long it's been alive, he said. |
