That isn’t lobster. There are no claws.

Rock Lobster...

Rock lobsters have no claws and are darker and bumpier in appearance than the Maine lobster.

I think he’s being sarcastic.

That said, spiny lobsters taste much better to me than their northern cousins.

Just butter.
Garlic drowns out the lobster flavor. IMHO.

Just melt that butter and toss either one of them on the plate. I'll take it from there ..

Lobster tails are extremely easy to cook.

Slice through the shell and about half way through the meat. Spread it apart and place a fair amount of butter in the crevice. Stick it in a microwave and cook it until the translucent color turns to white.

That is it.

If it used to be alive and came from the sea, I’ll eat it. Not even a question.

That isn’t lobster. There are no claws. It’s a big shrimp.

That's a spiny lobster. Spiny lobsters lack claws.
