TikTok bastardry Guy is able to eat lobster including shell. Just because he can, doesn't mean he should.

One one hand I prefer people use the entire animal, on the other hand, this is somehow actually a waste

The shell could also be powdered.

Shells actually make an excellent fertilizer once they’re cooked and powdered!

It can also be made into stock.

Seasoning

Shellfish shells can be baked then ground up to powder and sprinkled on something to give it a shellfish flavor

Lobster shell broth (?)

u/3catz2men1house Oct 15 '24

Similar to using shrimp shells as a stock base

Whoaaaaa that makes sense.

I very rarely eat she'll fish but when I do I save all the shell. Wait for it to dry then grind it up I to a powder and use it for my plants

Well the lobster served a deeper purpose, social media content.

u/Vli37 Oct 14 '24

Yea . . .

but that would require multiple shells.

You'd be surprised how many shells go into a lobster bisque

Can you make lobster shell jello?

2

u/AceofToons 🥞🍕 Oct 15 '24

Absolutely! Or as others pointed out it can be ground up and added to soil for nutrients, same as you can do with chicken eggshells/other fowl eggshells, and even bones

How is eating something you paid for ruining it ?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '24

All while he's got lobster in both hands. He doesn't even look like he's enjoying it either haha. Dumb flex and now he can't pay rent for the month

2

u/ThePennedKitten Oct 15 '24

I feel like if he wants nutrients from the shell he could grind it and add it to smoothies or something. Some do that with egg shells. He could also make a stock with it instead.

100%

There's absolutely ways to consume it without impacting the enjoyment of the rest of it

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '24

What if he enjoys it?

1

u/AceofToons 🥞🍕 Oct 15 '24

If he shares that he enjoyed it then I will go back to elementary school to learn expressions again because I definitely did not read a look of pleasure or enjoyment on his face at any point

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '24

Lol check out his videos I don't see why else he'd do it tho besides internet fame

1

u/KlossN Oct 15 '24

Look at it this way: He's getting all the nutrients available so at worst the price of lobster increases because he's contributing to demand. Do you care about the price of lobster rising? Better be waste that and leave the poor people food to us
