Lobster is only good when you add something to it. If I'm just eating plain lobster, it's trash. Crab is delicious on its own. Now both can be made and seasoned differently, but if we're just talking base crustacean, crab all the way.

I'm not a huge fan of either one. I think both certainly have their place as ingredients, but won't go out of my way to eat either one on their own. I love a good lobster bisque, but won't eat lobster by itself. I enjoy the taste and texture of crab legs but don't understand the hype. Waaayyyy too much work for hardly any food.

I can provide you with 4 different lobster specie, that many would always think are equal because its in the lobster family. Unfortunately the waters, PH levels, diet, nutrients in water, etc...all play a role in the flavor and quality. That even goes with brands. You can buy the same specie from 2 different plants and have a completely different experience. When folks avoid working with me I know they do not care about quality. Hopefully we can all get together in a lot to grill some food and chat on cars.

We been to the DP one twice, both times we ordered too much and both times everything was great. Whatever look/sounds good to you it should be.

As a East Coast kid, I'll eat it all! But nothing beats a Maine lobster tail. Love me some Maryland Crab cakes. Crab legs, are just too much work! lol
