Found my first lobsters the other day, I thought they were rocks spray-painted by forestry workers. We cooked the best one up with a little butter until slightly crisp on the outside. Honestly, I'm not sure why these are so highly regarded. The texture was similar to styrofoam, kind of mealy, not that different from Russula and the flavour was lacking. I'd still like to try them again, maybe it was just a subpar lobster.

Your post had me looking for recipes. I bet lobster mushrooms would work well as a replacement for lions mane in this recipe. Mushroom crab cakes sound delicious.
