Crab vs lobster

[futurefields]

I always liked crab meat better what about you guys?

 

[lxskllr]

Never had lobster, so crab wins by default.

 

[TheGardener]

Both are excellent. I enjoy either or.

 

[MontyAC]

Lobster hands down. More delicious meat.

 

[futurefields]

I wish McDonalds served crab legs.

 

[BUTCH1]

Crab, but not by much. Both are expensive, I remember 6-8 years ago buying snow crab on sale for $3.99/lb, those days are LONG gone, your lucky to get it at $7.99 now. I think the Government stepped in and started with quotas limiting catch size.

Crab legs by a mile for me.

Alaskan king crab > Stone crab > Australian lobster > Main lobster > all the rest

 

[IAteYourMother]

fresh dungeness is the best

 

[Gibsons]

For the most part I agree, but lobster is delicious.

Unless you're talking about deviled crab, which is usually about 1% crab and a bunch of filler.

Lobster is good but crab is much better imo

Need lobsters? I can overnight ship a pack straight to your address.

 

[Murloc]

I like lobster but crabs not much.

 

[KMFJD]

Neither?

 

[dank69]

Crab is more work for less payoff.

Price and sizes?

Lobster tail is delicious, but it's tough (compared to crab) and sometimes it's smelly.

You simple can't beat snow crab legs.... that spongy, chewy texture:

I can't believe these are ALL YOU CAN EAT at your average Chinese buffet. Sooo good.

When you start to factor in more expensive stuff like Alaskan King crab, Dungeoness crab & Stone crab (delish), Lobster stands no chance.

And crabs are less sea cockroach-like compared to Lobsters.

If you deliver (both figuratively and literally), mad props to you.

Price?

No one's mentioned MD blue crabs, the best crabs of all. Steamed of course, not boiled you fuckin' heathens...

 

[ImpulsE69]

Love crab, like lobster. Lobster tends to be tougher and stringier than crab, and I just don't like the texture as much.

 

[zinfamous]

I hate crabs. Tough little buggers to deal with.

 

[bradley]

Tough question. Crab is harder to ruin, but also has less meat. I personally think a well-cooked lobster is better by a tail.

How about clams vs mussels vs oysters?

 

[lxskllr]

Oysters of course

Lobster. When done properly lobster is much better than crab, which I also love. The problem is that lobster is extremely difficult to cook properly, even tougher than properly searing a diver scallop. For those saying that lobster is tough or stringy it sounds like you've only had it over-cooked because when it is done properly there is no contest.

If I am at a bar - crab legs; especially if it's a seafood tower. But, REAL crab legs. Not the slimy slim crab legs that shit bag buffets serve (Aria in Las Vegas, I'm looking at you,...).

If I am at a table dinner in a nice restaurant - lobster. And, there is a good chance I will order a crab cake appetizer.
