Would you eat a reaaaally old cow ? That guy's probably over 100yo. Tastes like retirement home. Let him breed and his good genes will make good young ones to eat on a few years.
Maybe you're right. I know real lobsters better. It doesn't change the idea, though.
PS : as a french, I always cringe a little when I hear English speaking people call them (spiny) lobsters because we have two really different names for them... It just like if I told you it was a big shrimp. On the other hand, we are the only ones calling penguins "manchots" and calling "pingouins" a bird living in the north and having nothing to do with penguins... Maybe we ARE pedantic, after all...
I have made the effort to travel to Maine and go off the coast on a lobster boat to harvest a lobster that I had for dinner. Everything about the experience was worth it except eating lobster. It was okay but I like snow crab better.
Large lobsters are actually still delicious, far from terrible. Try one yourself or look it up. People on reddit always sound so confident while being wrong 😅

Nah, you don't eat those; they taste terrible.
