Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Poor man's lobster?

Yep, either King crab or Dungeness.

Not even close.

But I know an idiot when I see it, and you've yet to atone.

Jud, they are not the ling cod you are thinking of !

Was fishing for Cod in Mass back in the late 80's, our
Captain was Dave Rider. A salty old bastard, he has quite a gig. He sold what we paid to catch.

Anyway, we hooked a Monkfish and he was wound tight.
"That's $7/pound. They call it Poor Man's Lobstah. Be a pretty
Poor man would think that's lobstah."


He sure could put you on Cod.
6 of us caught 2300 pound of rough dressed in two days.
Nasty old puck would bitch and beller if you stopped fishing
to get a drink or eat a sandwich.

At the time i worked farms for $30 a day, and the farmers treated us decent.
I paid him $100 a day
to work dam near as hard, and to be bitched at.


As for lobster?
I prefer almost any other seafood.
Rubbery and bland isn't good food.

Heard pike called that too.

You've either had bad Lobster or someone who doesn't know how to cook or both.

I looked at lobster tail today. 28 dollar$ a pound!!!

She and her Oregon “pard” rub uglies regularly... hint

But hey, they “shoot” just a “smidge”.... [bleep] what a joke!! Haha

Definitely this. Has a nice chewy texture that's closer to lobster.
I like ling too, but the texture is much flakier.

the original concept, FWIW, was invented using monkfish

The little woman makes "Poor Man's Lobster" with Haddock fillets. A little butter, S&P and a sprinkle of Old Bay wrapped in foil and baked .

I've tried Lobster...I've tried to like it.... I don't care for it. But that haddock.....That's good eats. Especially when it's smothered in stewed tomatoes.

you alla re wrong.. Poor Man's Lobster is boiled bullhead fillets dipped in ot Vegetable oil

for us it was either cod loins or the back fillet off a northern pike. boiled in heavily salted water. Still make it from time to time.

Looking to buy some catfish nuggets, and give it a whirl.

poor man's 'something entirely different from lobster'

I'll eat lobster if someone else buys. I don't like it well enough to $pend the money!

no big deal scottish proclivities are widely known

you'd say the same thing about beef if you were a lobster fisherman
