Mike - what are your thoughts on the lobsters in a tank at the local supermarket?
There's this outfit in the DC area who bring down lobsters, a couple times a year, from Maine. They say they pull them out of the water and put them on the truck and deliver them to the customers in something like 24 hours.
Years ago they used to run radio commercials and one of their main points was that the supermarket lobsters in the tanks can't be fed (not legal to do so) so they just sit there losing weight and turning into an inferior product as the days go by.
What do you think about any of this? Obviously the lobster you pull out of the water this morning and eat for dinner is going to the freshest lobster on the planet, but supermarket lobsters are alive too when you buy them.
I haven't tried a supermarket lobster in years and years, maybe not ever, but I was just wondering what you thought of them.
