Do you also buy the live cow? Because the ribeye steak you buy at the meat counter is from the cow that was hit by a train?Buy a whole live lobster, that way you get the claws and the tail. You also get a live lobster that you know is fresh. When they sell the tails only, these are the ones that died on the way back to shore, who knows how long it took for them to get cooked and frozen after they croaked. I suspect that it is also cheaper this way. ( by the lb./kg )
They are low in price at this time and I have cooked them at home, but I also get lobster with garlic and ginger at the local Chinese restaurant.
I'm very interested in the evidence you have to support your statement that lobster tails come from dead-loss.
