4.5 Pound JUMBO LOBSTER & Best SEAFOOD RESTAURANT in San Francisco

[@allysonsorenson3472]

Lobster Grinch here..growing up on the coast of Maine and living here still gives you a few insights that we keep to ourselves and away from tourists. I'll give you one freebie..none of us, locals, that is, eat a lobster over two pounds. Never. They go to the restaurants for the tourists because the meat is too stringy/rubbery. One and a half to two pounds max. Big lobsters are fun to look at, not fun to eat.

[@sschweg08]

Interesting. I never knew that.

[@ndb_1982]

Exactly. I'm not from there and I don't like seafood but even I know that.

[@roasty80]

i find his videos slighly suss. he always eats in empty restaurants and everything blows his mind. eateries are quiet for a reason

[@miiikeenav]

SF local here- New England lobster eatery is always busy no matter what time of the day and it is imo the best seafood/lobster spot we have. I can vouch for him. 👍🏻

[@mrxkrankie]

@@roasty80 his whole channel is about going to good food places, why would he make a video doing a bad review and then hurting a restaurant just because he didn’t like it

[@Rirruto]

This man sure does love his Monterey t-shirt

[@carlakinstley9255]

He is simple on clothing but so invested in his content ! My kind of human !

[@Bostonn8]

They get those from Canada it's illegal to get over 2.5 pounders in Maine they are known as Breeders and are thrown back for sustainability.

[@ajl8198]

Yes thank you for pointing that out. It really makes me sad when we are irresponsible with the world so why are they selling Canadian Lobster in San Francisco anyway Crab would be a local crustacean to have There. We need to educate ourselves so we don’t eat irresponsiblly

[@ec6678]

Also, the lobster can be his grandfather

[@VanisleGirl1961]

I was thinking that its too big to be selling ....

[@laerwen]

Yes - as someone who lives in Maine, it's not Maine lobster, that's for sure. We have very strict laws about this sort of thing. It's very illegal to take breeders out for consumption. Also, the biggest lobsters don't always mean the sweetest, most tender meat. Bigger = older critter, not as tender.

[@JohnHausser]

Yeah…..”illegal” ! 🤫

[@JB--]

Mike, you need to remove the "vein" (digestive tract that's full of poop) from the lobster tail!

[@rodw4057]

Nice! I grew up in SF and love Swan's Oyster Depot! Thee BEST!! 🤤 😂 ❤

[@cynthiabroussard17]

The New England Lobster Company is not in San Francisco, I was looking to est there and googled it and it is in Burlingame, why say SF if you aren't. 😂😂😂

[@jennifermclaurin217]

I've been watching Mike so long that after he dumped the spicy meat into that bowl of noodles, I said outloud, "He's gonna need some acid to balance that heat! It's either gonna be black vinegar or a buttload of citrus." And sure enough, it was the vinegar!! 😂😂😂 😂

That is Atlantic Lobster, so that is flown into SF. It might taste fresh, but it is not. You can tell by the size of the claws. Edit: Unless they fly them live that is... woops!

[@jeffrosenberg8456]

I was there years ago and they are flown in live. They actually have huge tanks you can see to keep them fresh. Impressive operation and a really informal atmosphere.

[@nursecory7033]

Just remember back in the day in the northeast it used to be given to people in prison as their food source as they were that plentiful and cheap. There were even human rights violations from inmates say that making them eat it was inhumane. Then as times goes rich people eat and love and the dynamic shifts. Enjoy this fact if you did not know about it.

[@glennedwards1449]

If you think about the innards of what is in Crab and lobster I agree and even so when you see this yellow/greyish goo it looks worse than cat food. Except the bloke is not wrong it seriously is the best tasking part of the animal.
