Yes, we all know that seafood prices have soared due to the VID plandemic and the cost to catch, process, pack, ship and prepare at the end destination have been out of control. Y'all think fast food dumps are the only businesses that are hurting for labor and a limited supply chain? It is across the board from blue collar to white collar industries. The government have made everyone entitled and lazy... And why not? Who the fuck wants to work and be yelled at all day long for a small pay check that is taxed at 50% when you can sit at home, watch porn, pull your pud and get paid to pump and squirt all day... Speaking of pulling puds... A good lobster roll always give me a nice stiffy.
So, what is this place anyways? It's a local fish market with 3 locations around Atlanta- Johns Creek, Milton and the newest one in Brookhaven (aka Buford Hwy/Clairmont)... Which is the closes one to me. Let's check it out...
Look, it's a nice little local fish/seafood market that has some prepared foods like soups, chowders, bisque, seafood salads, poke, ceviche, peel & eat shrimp, dips and chips but I was here for one thing and one thing only... Da lobsta roll. I'm getting a bit of blood flow already... It's unbelievable how easily I get aroused these days in my old age. Stop fucking around, Pouch, and get to the money shot already!
$16 for a sample size cup, unassembled... Shit, I have pissed in bigger urine sample cups than this. But the price includes a bag of chips... Woohoo. A quick price check online now shows the price at $18. But if it's good, it's worth it. Yes, you can always get a 1.5-2 lb. lobster for about $10 at any Asian market and make your own (yields about 2-3 rolls), but how many people can really make a good lobster roll or want to invest the time and effort to make one? That is why so many people are willing to fork out $30+ for a well made lobster roll. The split top bun looked good but it was pretty small and wasn't buttered or toasted. I'm still staring at that sampler size cup of smeggy lobster bits... Kinda reminds me of an ex's lady bits... Jesus, I still can't get the image of her hatchet wound out of my mind after all these decades... Woof.
Who do I give the bill to for assembling my own lobster roll on the prep counter? The sampler size cup surprisingly filled out the bun... That's because it was the size of a toddler's peen. I ate that entire shit in 3 1/2 bites. Was it all that I had hoped for? Did it make all my wildest dreams come true as Pedro had promised? No, far from it... But it wasn't like getting smacked in the face with a raw ribeye, either. It was very average. It was a tad too creamy/mayo-ey which masked the sweetness from the lobster meat. Who knows if the lobster meat would have that natural sweetness from a fresh made one. Chances are, the meat was probably from a vac-pac processed at a factory somewhere in the midwest. It didn't hurt my feelings but I won't be going back.
A lobster roll for sub $20 is quite the bargain these days... But is it worth it if it isn't very good? That's subjective to the gullible sucka's palate. I guess that's better than forking out over $30 for a lobster roll and it turns out to be garbage... Speaking of which... There is a new lobster roll joint in midtown ATL called BK Lobster. Is Burger King getting into the high end seafood sando market? Fuck no, it's a chain from NYC... "Brooklyn". They have a lobster roll with a tail wrapped in 24K gold for $100 and it doesn't even come with a bot of Cristal. Only a mook would be the first on line to IG/Yelp that shit. Don't hold your breath for this fat fuck's review any time soon... But you never know... The brown juice makes this lardass do stupid things.
PS- I also picked up a container of Tuna dip and it was pretty good! Pump on my one fan...
