I used to live in New England.  I'm not sure what is in the above picture being passed off as 'lobster'?
This is a lobster:

Phuket lobsters are overpriced, don't have much taste and don't have the claws, probably the best part. 

 

Canadian lobster is available in Phuket, it's cheaper, more flavoursome and has more edible meat.

 

Ridiculous really.

Anyone up for $50 to $100 for a lobster dinner? I stopped eating the lobster here a long time ago. Way overpriced. The best lobster in the world is from South Africa, Australia, and Baja California. Maine lobster is marginal. Ever tried it without butter? There is a reason they drown it in butter. Does not taste like much. The local lobster? 

 

In Baja you can get absolutely delicious lobster reasonably. Have never tried the Aussie and SA kind. Just heard alot of stories about how amazing they are. Any comments from the peanut gallery?
