Met a lobster fisherman once, after commenting on how lucky he was to have all the lobster he could eat, he replied "I don't eat them and if you're smart you won't either". He told anon they are the cockroaches of the sea, bottom-feeders that eat everything, including dead bodies. Anon laughed and said bodies float, he replied, "Not the ones that are weighted down and in my neck of the woods ( Mass.) we have found many of them".
