Lobster was never actually food for poor people or prisoners. They were just as hard to catch as they are today, maybe even harder without sonar. I don’t know where this lie came from that lobster was for prisoners because why would people go out on the water to catch lobster just for lowlife prisoners? Why risk lives?

Orange fool

>> No.19690458

at the time of the settlers, lobsters were so common they would wash up on the shore with the tide.
settlers left their trash on the shore and saw lobsters eating the refuse, and they were disgusted.

prisoners didn't eat fresh lobster, they ate canned lobster. this sort of lobster was considered poor people food and the prisoners were ashamed to be eating it. some people today have similar hangups with staple foods like rice.

ask anyone who grew up in a fishing town, there was a time when lobster wasn't even fit to use as fertalizer, it was so stigmatized.

They were english stock, their idea of cooking was to boil it until it turned to mush. Also they didn't have Old Bay seasoning back then.

>> No.19690522

Go buy a lobster, kill it, leave it sitting out unrefrigerated for a day and a half, then throw it in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. Eat that for dinner with no drawn butter or seasoning and tell me how delicious it is. Also not watching your video, or any clickbait garbage shilled here. You should get a 3 day vacation for even making this thread.

Because tourists would travel to new england, try it, like it, and want it imported. Importing makes it cost more, thus the price goes up. Since the price went up rich people start buying it and thus the price goes up even more.
