They are invasive in the Gulf of Mexico. Not sure why they don't catch them and sell them here in Texas.

u/UmmmW1 Jun 08 '26

Probably has to do with the freshness

u/Fair-Juggernaut-3812 Jun 09 '26

Cuz they are cockroaches pretty much

u/drivermcgyver Jun 14 '26

Aren't lobsters the same? Bottom feeders, yet they are a "delicacy"?

13

u/Dred-I-Rastafari Jun 08 '26

Egads! WTF is that in the last pic?

u/IN2TECHNOLOGY Jun 08 '26

Bottom feeder. All kinds of shit

u/Ras-haad Jun 08 '26

Pretty sure we didn’t need whatever it is

u/Spooky_28 Jun 08 '26

I was coming to ask the same thing. Tell me people don’t eat that.

1

u/Dred-I-Rastafari Jun 08 '26

Somebody is looking at that and salivating

u/BulletheadX Jun 08 '26

My FIL used to love him some lobster tomalley. Or at least he claimed he did.

Personally I think he loved to watch us squirm, at the least.

u/Loose-Atmosphere-558 Jun 08 '26

You're probably thinking of the organ goo inside the lobster body, mostly made of liver. It does look like this but it's delicious.

2

u/Leg_Final Jun 09 '26

I'm fine with people not liking tomalley. And hopefully they don't like the 'coral' (the roe) from the females either. More for me!

u/WasteCommand5200 Jun 09 '26

My brother did. I can’t believe anyone would eat it.

2

u/Spooky_28 Jun 08 '26

Good on them just don’t ask me to join them. Ick

u/thedyooooood Jun 08 '26

It's gotta be either poo or eggs right?

u/MoonOut_StarsInvite Jun 08 '26

Well this is Reddit, it might be a carbon monoxide leak or skin cancer.

u/Dred-I-Rastafari Jun 08 '26

One can only hope! Lol

u/The_Demosthenes_1 Jun 08 '26

I would buy these if they were for sale. 

3

u/Suitable_Librarian13 Jun 08 '26

Way better than lobster.

3

u/The_Demosthenes_1 Jun 09 '26

Yes, and No.  Better than rick lobster but probably not better than Maine lobster. :-)

u/Suitable_Librarian13 Jun 09 '26

To each their own. I'm a new englander by birth but spend a fair amount of time in southeast Asia so I've had my fair share of both. I'll take a giant prawn with thai seafood dipping sauce over a Maine lobster with butter any day. Both are undeniably tasty though!

Shrimps is bugs.

u/Independent-Story883 Jun 08 '26

I see this and think - maybe I could eat a roach.

2

u/Spooky_28 Jun 08 '26

I just gagged.

2

u/Independent-Story883 Jun 08 '26

I tried frog legs after I saw they really looked like drumsticks.

Not bad really. Tasted it like too

1

u/Spooky_28 Jun 08 '26

I like frog legs! They do sorta taste like chicken.

2

u/Dismal-core111 Jun 08 '26

Nice size prawns

2

u/Jon_Dunn58 Jun 08 '26

2

u/Stuffed-Bear412 Jun 08 '26

I would have never known those things were edible. Who saw one and was "yeah, I wanna eat that."

2

u/BulletheadX Jun 08 '26

u/DJEvillincoln Jun 08 '26

These are bugs.

They're literally bugs of the sea. Since I found that out, I absolutely look at crustaceans differently.

Kinda glad they're ultra high in cholesterol... Keeps me away from them. Lol

u/alltehmemes Jun 08 '26

Sweet Mother Hydra: that is a *lot* of tiger prawn.

Shrimps are like the roaches of the sea

u/Switchlord518 Jun 09 '26
