Same I almost never put butter on my lobster unless it's in a lobster roll. I prefer it without

Yeah, it's the texture + butter. This isn't an unpopular opinion it's just that OP only realizes it now. "Chicken is bland and boring without spices, curry, sauce, etc" yeah, we know…

It's fkin good. The texture, butter with garlic and herbs like paprika, rosemary, and thyme, drizzled over with a squeeze of lemon. Perfect. Melts in your mouth.

"You just eat it because it is "fancy" and makes you feel fancy for the night." Actually, I like the taste. Why are you telling people why they are doing something? Where do you think you're getting this authority from?

No I mean, it's one thing if you're like "I think lobster is bland and I don't like it". Cool. Unpopular opinion. "You only eat it because it makes you feel fancy" Stupid and objectively wrong belief. Worth dunking on.

It does make me wonder how are some people preparing it. I do like lobster with a drizzle of butter, obviously not drenched to mask how badly it's been screwed up. Do like how Chinese restaurants prepare it though. Chop 'em up, saute or stir fry it with green onion and some other ingredients. It's good.

Lobster claws are delicious. As for the rest of the lobster I like it too, but I can understand why some people don't, it's very chewy.
by millsmathilde1 week ago
I will say lobster plain is meh. With a well put together sauce and cook right it is good. I would rather have Alaskan king crab legs tho. Lobster bisque or lobster Mac n Cheese is the buisness
by Anonymous1 week ago
I feel this way about crab legs. Just not worth the effort
by arnaldo611 week ago
But you could say the same thing about butter since no one eats that by itself. But yeah anything dipped in butter is pretty great so I partially agree with this. Though butter plus garlic plus lobster is a "greater than the sum of its parts" situation for me.

I know of an older man who grew up on the coast. When he was a kid, he was so poor he had to have lobster for lunch every day. He envied the rich kids who got to eat a peanut butter and jam sandwich. He swore when he grew up, he wouldn't eat it anymore. He has - but admits it is much better with a ton of butter. I imagine that if his family couldn't afford a PB and J sandwich, his lobster wouldn't have been covered with butter.

Lobster with a copious amount of butter is just a steakhouse thing. Everywhere else, it is cooked properly with spice, herbs, and seasoning. Unpopular but also incorrect and layered with too many assumptions.

No not really, I lived in the Philippines for a few years and catched some lobsters every now and then. We just steamed it, made a dip with soy sauce, tomatoes, chilly, lemon and onions.

Good job on the opinion, although I wonder if it's never having well prepared lobster, an aversion to shellfish, or just having messed up tastebuds that prompted this? Especially considering you only talk about eating it with butter, I wonder if you've never had the option of trying it with different preparations?

Lobster is that good. Adding butter to everything just makes things taste like butter, and outside of clogging your arteries it doesn't even accomplish much once you get used to the taste. Develop one.

Lobster is free bud what are you talking about. You just have to get off your lazy ass and go get it… the price is set by how skill lacking and completely unwilling people are to harvest their own food. I eat it regularly and I don't pay for it. Sometimes we mince it and make burgers… it's honestly a delicious sea food when cooked right. And no drowning it in garlic butter is not the right way

How much butter do u think goes into it?
by Anonymous1 week ago
Damn this take is unpopular and largely en pointe imo. It's not just butter flavor, but I think without it people really wouldn't be that into it. Lobster in particular has a long history of being marketing based on perceived value. So do most things, but it was a pretty dramatic shift w lobster.
by Leannonmarielle1 week ago
It's one thing to say that you don't like lobster. It's another to assume that the only way people enjoy it is with excessive butter. Having a preference can be done well without displaying ignorance

Shellfish is not only great tasting but also incredibly good for you. Way more protein per calorie than almost every other meat. You can eat SIXTEEN small shrimp that aren't breaded and it is only around 60 calories. As a person on a strict 2000 calorie or less diet shellfish are incredibly valuable to eating healthy while still getting enough protein to maintain my muscle mass. Plus red meat poises other health risks that shellfish does not such as cancer and cardiovascular risks. Good on you for having a truly unpopular opinion though.
