Break out the lemon dip is all I can say. Death, destruction, famine, abused children, war, credit crisis, sky high fuel costs, rampant unemployment...............a nice lobster dinner would be a bit of a treat.

I want to know what happens when the thing crawls back into legal fishing waters, is caught again, and is sent to another restaurant. They should've tagged it or something, like they do with birds.

PETA ahould be called PITA.

Eat the thing, that's what lobsters are for. I just hope that the PETA member is having a nice swim nearby where they put George back... and George gives him a swift nip where it counts with those 140 year old pincers.  ;D

Not a lobster expert.  Are older lobsters better taste wise?
Obviously bigger, and thus more meat,  but what about age?

Very good point, even some types of fish are better when they are just pan sized. Salmon is a good example, if they are going upstream to spawn they are getting too mature.

Not bearly speaking...
