ALASKAN KING CRAB or LOBSTER, which do you prefer???

[B.UTLER]

I prefer prawn then crab then lobster, perhaps give prawns big prawns the same side dish as lobster (butter etc) and I think you have a subjectively better dish, I think we irrationally put rare things in a higher order than common things (lobster over crab or prawns merely because they are harder to catch more rare and expensive but not necessarily better) , and we tend to prefer what we eat from childhood/often too

No...

Cook prawn, lobster and alaskan king crab (not snow crab or other cheap crab) the same way.. baked in oven or steamed.. then have garlic butter and/or lemon..

King crab > lobster > prawn

Also lobster and prawn are dime and dozens.. you can easily buy them at groceries with seafood .

Can u even buy king crab in a grocery store? Ive only seen them sold online.. the asian and grocery store i frequent too, dont have them and they sell kinds of seafood..

For sure grocery store dont have alaskan king crab but maybe king crab from russia or some place else..

I'm a middle class white dude and I've never had lobster.

I mainly do seafood in my diet but lobster Im not too crazy about. I find it tougher to chew and not as tender as crabs.

Crabs are my favorite dishes especially the marinated Korean ones. Boiled crabs, any crabs, i love them.

Also, the body is better than the Legs for sure and the ones who know crabs knows wsup with that.

The crab intestines are the best part and with some steemed rice inside mixed with a touch of soy sauce, it’s fkin unbelievable..

Lobsters are overrated. Crabs taste much better.

Both are excellent, especially when you eat them after a hard weeks work. It's a nice reward to treat yourself with. My only complaint against Crab is that the legs can be a pain to extract the meat

I called a bigger branch of HEB (grocery store) they do carry king crab at $26/lb.. imma buy when i got a chance to go there..

How do you plan on cooking? Just steaming it?

I lean sightly towards lobster but it is very close. But I want either with steak!

10 years later.

I guess I prefer lobster with steak even more now.
