[Zebra]

is that really necessary?

Not sure if it's nevessary or not but it may not be necessary.

You can't do it if you're dead.

we do it to crabs and crawfish, but not shrimp.

mom said the dead crabs were "no good" but if i brought home less than she wanted (i fished nearly every day as a child, and always put out 6 crab nets while fishing. ) she would freeze them , alive, and drop them in the gumbo later.

LOL... It took me a minute to realize who that was in your sig pic...

At first I thought it was Jason's "Mother" at Crystal Lake c.1970

It's cruel.

Only if they can actually experience pain in the few seconds they survive boiling water.

It's cruel.

better than being bitten in 1/2 by a sheephead. crustacians are near the bottom of the food chain.

Yes it's completely necessary.It's because of a type of bacteria that forms on dead lobsters ...theyre safer to eat when cooked live

I thought it was common knowledge

They can.

Cruel but tasty.

Ok...yeah.

Killing anything is cruel. Taking the fish out of the water in the first place is cruel, almost all of them suffocate and die during the process of harvest.

When it comes to other species and their apparent sentience I'm far more likely to be concerned with their meating their demise.

no excuse ….

Avoiding severe food poisoning is no excuse ?

 

[Blues Man]

Cruel but tasty.

No thanks

 

[JGalt]

Those damned lobsters would kill us all if they could figure out a way.

No, it isn't. The lobster can be humanely killed right before cooking. The point of a sharp knife right through the cross on the back.
