Btw - soft shells are so much easier to eat IMHO

sure

but, you get half as much knuckle and claw meat and it's not as dense or sweet as a the same size hard shell. Same thing with the tail meat, though to a lesser extent. When lobsters molt, their muscles shrink and shell cavities fill up with water. That's why hard shells are preferred by chefs and cost more.

I went out in SC last night and had some killer fried green tomatoes. Also had steamed mussells and a grilled seafood platter with shrimp, scallops, and mahi-mahi with a side of asparaguse. Excellent!

Fried Fish Burritos

It's a good thing my home deep fryer is a pain in the ass to clean and store after use. I could probably eat fried fish burritos or tacos three nights a week and never get sick of them.........and be muy gordo
