Well, i've never tasted it at all in my life (same with crab as well)...so i'm not really that bothered as to whether i'm missing out on anything. Plus it probably tastes like chicken
Down here, we have the spiny lobster...on one of my AOW dives, my instructor found one under a reef and tried to coax it out...he thinks it must have been about 2/3 foot in length !!!!
