😆 I 👍🏾 👍🏾
The reason for the rubbery texture is the manufacturer's instructions for reheating. The only lobster that should ever go in boiling water is a live one. These frozen ones should be shelled cold, then either given a VERY quick zap in the microwave, or better yet eaten chilled but with hot butter on the side.
Yup, this exactly. Eat as a chilled lobster salad is best for these!
I've had lobster many times from really nice restaurants to my friends house. The tail is always sort of chewy/rubbery. Doesn't matter how you cook it. It sucks. I don't like lobster either unless it's the claws. The claw meat is unbelievable soft and tender and flavorful but the tail is like shrimp and the texture is disgusting.
I found the better way is steamed, do not know why but was really good, i eat regular lobster once a year, always a fun time...but eating a fresh one in cuba with homemade aiolli butter is heavenly! I still can taste it!
@@wombat5252 Restaurants in a lot of places overcook seafood to cater to the masses. People think that if the fish looks like shredded coconut = flaky. Anything higher than 140 degrees on lobster, hell most seafood = is overkill.
For non fresh ones you're better off steaming them with herbs and butter
I would never have even considered eating the green stuff.
It's some of the best part of the lobster! But most people think it looks weird.
@@lizziefingers7528 It's disgusting. I'm with Larry, lobster just isn't that great. Only the claw meat. Crab though is absolutely amazing.
@@wombat5252Personally i think crab is disgusting
YES, that would go straight into my dog's drooling mouth.
@@wombat5252Yes +rep!!
I'm not a lobster eater, but the green stuff?.. Scooter, your instinct should've said no way..😂
The green is good! And the eggs on the female are red and are very delicious! It is like a licorice but not sugary...but tasting good!
The green is an acquired taste like liver etc
if you don't eat lobster really, then stay away from the green shit. I love lobster but i can't stand the green part.
the green stuff is seriously tasty it's way better than lobster eggs
I eat lobster but no green stuff thank you!
You can eat part of the lobster body, but you should have removed the poop chute first. Here in Nova Scotia, we still have the live lobster tanks in the grocery stores.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂🤮
ns here also
We have a live lobster tank at the Weis supermarket near where I live in Pennsylvania. They cost about $9 each
@annaj I live in NS too. And agreed, you're not supposed to eat that shit stuff. Yuck.
Glad to see you still making content. Your videos helped me get through college!
His videos will get you through raising a family of 5. No joke.
WGAT AR WE EATING??
😂
😂
Wgats the problem?
Wgyatt meal
Today it is rubber exam gloves from the doctors office. 🤣🤣
Listen Wolfie, if cockroaches tasted as good as lobster, I'd be dippin them bad boys in clarified butter too!
Thanks for taking one for the team!
My guess is that lobster thawed somewhere then frozen again and was spoiled. If it has any ammonia odor at all it’s history. I did get ripped off on frozen stone crab claws a few years back and learned a lesson. Good video as always.
If it’s as bad as you say this is the last video we will ever get from him lol
If buying thawed: Always try to look under the pricetag too. Bought some king crab legs from Sams Club once, got them home, removed the plastic: Deep greenish black damage to the leg, meat was rancid about two inches in either direction. They hid the damage under the tag.
(needless to say I returned it and got a refund, but had a similar issue buying fresh fruit at a Kroger store recently. Fruit on display all had multiple stickers on them, I just assumed someone had fun with the sticker gun - nope. They were covering damage, blemishes, and mold spots).
It only produces that toxic ammonia if it dies before it's cooked. Once it's cooked it can't produce that and is just like any other cooked seafood or fish, i.e. keep refrigerated and eat within 3 days. But if it's defrosted and refrozen that's not good. I think it was just chewy because it was cooked too much, being boiled once is enough and you never cook or even reheat them again after that. In restaurants if they're not served directly after cooking, which is only in specialist seafood restaurants anyway, they're only ever served cold as an ingredient in all kinds of dishes. We used to make a terrine, wrapped in leek. Kind of complicated and a pain in the ass but that's what you get for working in a French restaurant.
@@simonh6371 Great explanation! I was a catering manager for years on and around the Chesapeake and have been around plenty of good and bad seafood. Fortunately mostly good.
Y'all do know that any crab that isn't alive at time of purchase or freshly dead within 12 hours are cooked before being frozen.
It is a myth they scream, but it's also a myth they do not feel pain.
Leon the Lobster is not happy! 😂
Poor Leon! He didn't have a chance! So sad!
"ive eaten some pretty bad stuff" .... hmm wonders whats next for Larry LOL oh and a big thank you for the seinfeld man hands clip at 3:30 LMAO
Man i forgot about the lobster tanks in grocery stores. Thank for that little piece of nostalgia.
Thank you very much for leaving SCOOTER out of the audio
Me and my dad overnighted 2 live lobsters straight from maine. They arrived alive and we ate them later that night. I remember correctly you're only supposed to eat the tail and the claws. Anyway we boiled ours and they came out amazing. Then again they were like $100 or something lol.
Don't forget the tamale........(liver).
Antenna and knuckles too
You can also take a rolling pin and snap the small legs as well and get some small #2 pencil(ya know the ones for scan-trons from the 90s and early 00s?) lead diameter pieces of meat.
You can eat the brains too.
Try your local asian market. Sometimes they have tanks of live lobsters
Scooter's having a grand olt time with the title
I really normally do not leave comments but I do have A LOT of experience with lobster... this is probably going to be lengthy but...
Lobsters used to be so plentiful they were used as food for prisoners.
I was a chef at a Country Club and on Saturday nights we did a lobster night. The members could have one lobster any way they picked, prepared by us. We had about 100 live lobsters delivered every week.
My goto for killing was a chef knife held to the mouth right in front of the brain. With a quick jab with the other hand the lobster instantly dies. I know I know that lobsters do not scream but I think they feel. I was tired of my hands being pinced from the rapid curling of the tails as I plunged them into boiling water.
The weight of the lobster determines the cook time. There are a lot of ways you can cook it.
Some preferred broiling. That's relatively easy.
We did a "bath" for them. In the same large cooking pot you put in a little bit of carrot, onion, and about 1/4 of a lemon, and about a cup of white cooking wine (salt and flavor). You let that boil for a while to let the flavors meld together. The carrot makes the lobster meat sweater, onion enhances flavor, and lemon almost always makes seafood MO' BETTA!"😁
I usually SLIGHTLY undercooked my lobsters because some residual cooking will take place as it was waiting to be taken to the table.
If that lobster you had was already fully cooked and then frozen I'm sorry but that's for soup or something. I really avoid the green myself.
Whenever there were live lobsters left there one of us chefs and cooks could take them home. For about 3 months I left with around at least 5 live lobsters. I had so many I grew sick of lobster for about a decade.
Your lobster was waaaaaay overcooked and freezing a cooked lobster would not be on my list of things to try.
Just adjust things for cook times and your mind might change, or it may not be your thing.
I prefer snow crab as opposed to king crab. A lot disagree with that but I DO NOT want to live in a world where everyone agrees with me.
That's just boring.
Enjoy.
Around me we have stores Shoprite or Price Chopper where live lobsters go on sale for $5.99/ lb. They usually weigh about 1.5-2 lb and cost about $12-$15. They usually offer free steaming but I wouldn't have my lobster cooked there. There are little restaurant areas of these stores where you could eat what foods you get there but I opted out of that.
Yeah you're right on it being overcooked, if it's bought frozen (obviously cooked first) then it should just be defrosted naturally and be eaten cold. I worked in a French restaurant and must cooked dozens of them but we never served them hot anyway, they were cooled off, the meat taken out and used as part of another dish, we used to make leek and lobster terrine where you had to wrap the leek around the lobster meat.
I tried killing them with a knife too but I'd read that you push the sharp knife in at the back of the head, but that didn't kill them and they started flailing with their claws so I stopped doing that. Later I read that they don't actually have a brain and nervous system like mammals or even fish, the nervous system is down the spine. Apparently the most humane method is to put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes - still alive of course - before boiling them because this will almost put them to sleep. But of course working in a restaurant that was never an option, our freezers were always too full plus the head chef was too much of a dickhead to allow it.
@@simonh6371 Both of these are underrated comments.
Salute to both of you for your tips and tricks
The green/ liver is an acquired taste. Personally I think it's ace on warm fresh bread with butter.
But yeah, the rest of what you said is sound for advice for people 😀
Who tf is about to read all that
@@Keycrazzy Peeps who enjoy food.
Rather spending their time eating chicken / turkey nuggies made by mummy.
Oh my Lord, you are a very brave man!
How much do I love lobster? Most years we travel from Ontario to southern Maine for a few weeks. Every other day I'll head to the lobsterman's house (garage) and purchase 7-8 fresh live culls (lobsters that have a blemish, missing claw etc.), take them back to the campsite and cook them up for my wife and I. Nothing tastes better. The sweetest meat you'll ever eat. Price per lb is usually less than ground beef.
I had some for work yesterday and it was delicious!
Dude I love your honesty. Fan forever.
If you ever get the chance to try some live FRESH nova scotia lobster do it, because I promise you it's anything but rubbery, it's soft and slightly sweet. What you have is nothing like what we get fresh off the boats.
Funner facts: Isopods (Woodlouse, or rolly pollys) are crustaceans and are closely related to lobsters than to cockroaches. They're the only crustacean to evolve fully to living on dry land.
During the Carboniferous period 360-300 mya oxygen content was much higher than today (35% as opposed to our current 21%) as a result of this terrestrial arthropods were much larger than today, centipedes 2 m (6.6 foot) long and a spider cousin the size of a house cat. Also, the period gets it's name from the fact that this when most of our coal beds formed.
I refuse to let your cockroach reference affect my love of lobster 😂. I prefer lobster tails
Came in swinging brotha 🎉
You cant cook frozen seafood without thawing it out first. Comes out rubbery everytime. BUT, if you must, you can let it sit for about 30 mins and it will change the texture completely. Probably about 80% less rubbery if you let it cool off. The tail muscle relaxes. Of course its not as hot so make sure your butter is hot.
Great pointers thanks!
He let it thaw, try again
@@asherdie Did he? I might have missed that. But also let it sit after cooking it. Kinda like a steak. It works everytime. You ever eat cold seafood as leftovers and noticed that even though its cold, its much more tender than when you were eating it hot? Shrimp especially.
@@currencytrader4389 he did say it around 2:45 that he thawed it. but the instructions are wrong as well. you dont boil an already cooked lobster against for 2-3 minutes, which is almost how long it takes for a live one to cook, that would be 5 to 7 minutes. a cooked one just need a flash heat for maybe a minute at the most. or eaten cold.
Interesting video! I may hit up the frozen section later and check this out.
A long time ago, no one wanted to eat lobster. It was considered a bottom feeder and no one wanted to eat them!! How times have changed.
this is due to a lack of knowledge on how to keep a lobster fresh
sailors would kill them immediately, and it was an unknown fact that lobster would rot themselves once killed via a special gland
so all lobster recipes back then were ways to make spoiled lobster palatable
Hey brother glad you're back, I'm finna go catch up on your videos
WGAT AR WE EATING?? indeed. indeeeeed
Love lobster! I worked a lot on the east coast and had them various way from boiled to broiled. I used to buy them here in Wisconsin for our New Year's Eve dinners, throwing them on the old Weber Kettle. I have a picture of me cooking ribeyes and tails when it was like 7 degrees outside. Still buy them for New Year's but just the small 6 ounce ones not like the two pounders that I'd get in the 1990's. My family's theory on this was you start out the New Year eating something really special because six months later, it might just be beans and wieners and you might just be thankful for that! With that said, I bought one of these lobsters in a box a few months ago on Amazon and I might just have to pull it out of the freezer and give it a try though I was thinking about just thawing it in the fridge instead of boiling it again. Thanks for your reviews sir. They are honest and down to earth and that's refreshing these days!!
Wisconsin in the house!
❤
Thank you. This video needed to be made.
We love you, Wolfe
Wow, these look perfect for pulling apart and turning into a lobster roll......I think I would just thaw it and create the lobster salad for the roll.....Thanks for this!
Prices vary, but last I checked you could buy two live lobsters for that price here in NH, and my supermarket will cook it for you at no charge.
Stop gloating, lol! In my area the only place you can get lobster is at a chain restaurant, and the prices start at $35 per small (1.25 lb) lobster and go up from there.
I think ol' Mr. Wolfepit had one too many cocktails while loading this video....And I don't mean shrimp 😅😅😅
Yeah, that title looks pretty munted.
Well, technically speaking, screaming is air escaping 🤣
Live lobster is practically free -- if you can catch it yourself! Only half-joking. I spent a summer at my stepfather's home on the southern bank of the St. Martin River, over in the Eastern Shore of Maryland, back in the summers of 1989 and '90. At the time, blue crab meat was going for about $16 a pound (I think - may have been more!). But we could just go to our little pier on the river and catch Jimmies all afternoon with a chicken wing on a string and judicious use of a net. Was incredibly fun and we saved tons of money getting, cooking, and picking our own crabs... and ours were always well-seasoned with a shton of Old Bay because Delmarva Reasons.
Typo in the title; the video is great!
Thanks Larry ❤
I still want to know who first looked at a lobster and said, that look good lets eat it.
Many cultures still eat bugs, so there's that....
A fish with the head on would scare you, wouldnt it my redneck friend? Stick to mommy's meatloaf
If I want fresh lobster, I just go to Winn Dixie and pick a couple out of the live tank. They even steam them for me for free if I don't want to boil them myself.
Thank you for not dying
I had one of these from Aldi about 6 monts ago and loved it. Ive never seen it again 😢
Thanks for trying it.
Thanks, that was a good video!
WGAT AR WE EATING!!!
I had no idea this lobster in a box thing existed.
Thanks Wolfie I needed this today
Also the correct way to cook lobster is to boil it in extremely salty water. And remove the rubber bands before you boil it.
On the east coast we take the ocean water and add more salt the boil the lobster in that. Obviously this is better done outdoors so your house doesnt smell like boiled ocean 😅😊😅
I found/find it Fascinating that Lobster used to be considered "poor people's food"🃏
Yup and rich people ruined that as normal. Can't wait for 50 years when instant ramen is a delicacy and $50 a bag
best lobster I ever had, was eating a LOBSTER ROLL at a port side place in BAR HARBOR MAINE.. not a great restaurant..but a sorta cafe at waterside. I need to go back there.. YUM!!!!
THAT WAS PROBABLY COOKED AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS CAUGHT THEN FLASH FROZEN TO PRESERVE IT AT PEAK FLAVOR
You had me at whole cooked lobster in a box.
I went down this road at Krogers before. I have to get the popcorn ready before I start this.
Ok, we the people, are ready 🙃
Ok now you lost me when you said you don’t like lobster.
I’ll summarize without watching it. It’s a watery, soggy mess and there’s not much meat to speak of.
I can’t watch. I was raised on seafood in the Chesapeake and Tampa bay.
@@peterreily1490ep. He said it was all pretty much too rubbery to enjoy, but I say that's because the instructions said to reboil it which is dumb. Would've been better to be thawed in the fridge over night then eaten cold.
Forgot to pull the poop trail from the tail meat. And NO you weren't supposed to eat the main body from the headshell.
Reheating it made it rubbery. Those precooked lobsters are best to just thaw and make lobster rolls with.
Certified Gold!!!!!
Good review , thanks for sharing , God bless !
It's like chewing rubber bands when you reheat a lobster.
Yeah, I wonder why people even bother to remove the ACTUAL rubber bands before heating the things. Probably wouldn't even notice, other than them having a slightly better flavor and being easier to chew.
Thank you TheWolfePit you help me a lot.
Wild caught from sustainable fisheries! 🤣
You had me laughing on this one!
Wow, you eat lobster like a Savage. I don't eat the green stuff, and I would have never eaten the guts. You are my hero
You're missing out.
Dip it in butter, it'll make it better. The world would have ZERO problems if we lived by this rule!
Now I have to go watch the Mermaid Lobster scene....lol
The only lobster I've had that wasn't rubbery/tough was when I bought just the tails, opened them up and broiled them with some garlic butter. I wasn't a big lobster fan at that point and was surprised that it was really good, I wouldn't eat lobster any other way now.
Eat the tail and claws and cook the rest to make stock. Then make rice porridge out it but make it thick. I've had that in a Japanese restaurant and it was delicious!
Dollar tree used to have a lobster in a can when I worked there like 10 years ago
Dollar Tree lobster? 🤮
If there is ever a storm locally, it's worth checking the local beaches for stunned lobsters and crabs on the beach. My father and I ended up with about 12 lobsters and 4 crabs a couple of years ago in the UK when we decided to go out on a whim.
Sounds like the instructions made you over cook it dude. If in doubt, shred it with melted butter, lemon and parsley and have it in a nice brown bread sandwich.
In Newfoundland lobster is fairly easy to get, So grocery stores always have live lobsters and crabs
I thought this was Leon the lobster at first, my wee man, I'd have unsubscribed had it been? Lol enjoy man x
Wolfe.Nearly a million subscribers…take Mrs.Wolfe out to a high scale seafood place.
Thank you Larry very insightful
I'm not a lobster fan either. In the few times I had "Surf&Turf" meal with lobster tail and steak, I traded a buddy my lobster tail for his steak. Being a Native Floridian I love crab, shrimp, oysters and other seafood. To me lobster has a sharp aftertaste I don't care for.
If you're ordering something called Surf and Turf you will almost never get Maine lobster tail but the other cheaper species that don't taste as good or are always overcooked because it cooks so incredibly fast
@@sdgc8667 It's not lobster its Langostino.
Lobster was nice to eat before I became deathly allergic to all crustaceans, but over the years I've realize their just big "Sea Bugs". We still have a grocery store chain that still has a fresh fish section with a live lobster tank.
for lobster tails, One way to make em less tough is to shred the meat. The reason it's so hard is cause of the the fibres of the muscles are tied in a knot. So shredding it makes a big difference.
edit: obviously the cooking makes a difference too. What I mean to say is that even a fresh lobster cooked just right might still have a tough tail for some people (my father has issues with any food that's a bit though) and when I told him to shred the tail he was doubtfull but he did notice a big difference.
I may not watch all your vids anymore but it does make me happy to see you upload often
👷..THE ORANGE NETTING REMINDS ME OF A CONSTRUCTION SITE.
Love your descriptions. A couple things I've tried and like. Both traditional British fare found on Amazon. Steak and kidney pie and pork pie.
Since it's already cooked, I wonder if it would be more palatable if you only thawed it and cut it up (just the tail and claw meat please) and prepared it in a lobster roll, rather than trying to reheat it and serve it warm. But I'm not willing to gamble $22 to find out.
I'm just astonished that it is exactly as described on the box label, an actual complete frozen lobster.
I'd guess that the reheating by boiling might be what made the tail meat extra-rubbery, over-cooking seems to be one of those things that can do it.
When I was a kid Krogers and I think food Town in Toledo Ohio had frozen lobsters from in a plastic tube, you snip off the top and slide it into boiling water, it is where I learned to like lobster
Haven’t watched these in awhile always love that your brave enough to eat some of this
Now just imagine space lobsters dipping human corpses in butter and eating them...
Damn I thought this was Leon for a second. My heart sank. 😢
WGAT happened? Did Scooter sabotage your video title? lol In all seriousness, keep up the awesome videos and stay awesome.
Times are tough at Chez Wolfe so Larry had to hire Scooter to be video editor at a discount salary... 😂
That looked decent for what it was, I love lobster but don't have it too often, it is a very rich meat and a little goes a long way.
been tempted on these, glad you did it.
beautiful nails, man ✌
😮🎉😂 love the reviews respect from 205 pisces black alpha male Birmingham Alabama
"Hey lunch lady!!"❤
ahhh good ol 'wgat ar we eating' i may not understand what a wgat is, but i agree
You like lobster? I love the taste of butter too
mannnn what a waste of lobster to sell em like this, appreciate you WolfePit
LOL you're so funny 😂 it did look rubbery . I don't like lobster either. I don't like Flavor of it. I've cooked it at home and tried it in some nice restaurants I just don't like it. I'll take crab legs any day. I love all Seafood except Lobster. I enjoyed this video see you in the next one😊
Yeah, it is the Cholesterol that makes Lobster a 6 month treat for me....And Hey, easy, My Mom was the Lunch Lady in the school cafeteria, that is why I brought my lunch every day. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
In Europe around Christmas they show up in boxes in grocery stores for a price between 20 and 25 euro.
in Canada we have a grocery store called Loblaws and they sell Presidents Choice Frozen Lobster Roll Kits, man what a travesty those are. these days most grocery stores that sell live lobsters will cook it for you while you shop so you dont have to when you get home.
🪳 “NOW DIP THAT IN YOUR CLARIFIED BUTTER!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Whole Cooked Lobster in a Box - WGAT AR WE EATING?? - The Wolfe Pit
It's wild you can get lobster in NYC from Asian supermarkets for insanely cheap. The local hmart had them for 7.99/lb a couple weeks ago and a Chinese supermarket near me had them for 6.99/lb last week. On average I'm still seeing 9.99/lb at most places.
