We only hunt with a camera, so no, we didn't taste this guy. <br /><br />We have had slipper lobster, however, and the tail meat is just as good as (and very similar to) spiny lobster. <br /><br />BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-84047975664143817732009-05-20T15:23:41.564-10:002009-05-20T15:23:41.564-10:00Bobbie &amp; Jerry... welcome to the FBI Blogs first, that is how I found you (I am one too). <br /><br />How big do you think this guy was? Since it is not lobster season any more, I assume you did not taste him/her? Have you ever spoken to anyone who has tasted one (Pardon me, I am a foodie)?<br /><br />I love your blog and I am adding it to my blog roll. <br /><br />~devany<br />Hilo, HI<br />www.myhawaiianhome.blogspot.comDevanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17382289358624847776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-839196869525033232009-05-20T08:46:39.798-10:002009-05-20T08:46:39.798-10:00Lovely...

This was a real "in your face" situation!<br /><br />And yes, this was a big one, and would have yielded a lot of meat, but we didn't take it -- just took its picture.<br /><br />@Shannon - I never met a lobster that DIDN'T taste good!<br /><br />@Gattina - You're right. There are a lot of 'alien' looking creatures in the sea.<br /><br />@Scienceguy - No, slipper lobsters do not have claws. <br /><br />BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-13039580370485701972009-05-20T06:09:18.894-10:002009-05-20T06:09:18.894-10:00Wow that's a lot meat.
