Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

As a Chinese person, it doesn't taste better if cooked by someone familiar with it either lol. My parents love it for some reason and have tried to get me to eat it many times.

Seems to be very common experience among Asians. My mum loves it and I can't stand it, and I can't imagine myself liking the vile gourd when I grow old.

The funny thing is, I might grow to like it and I vehemently and irrationally hate that idea.
