Reply to comment by KDRadio1 in Where do you buy chicken breast for a good price? by Astronaut-Ordinary

Aside from being a SOB.. they'll often bait and switch items..like..they'll advertise say.. lobster tails for $3 each, and then when you get there, they're tiny and bundled in 5 packs. So now you end up paying close to $20 after taxes for less meat than you would get in a can.

  1. Canned lobster sounds disgusting. Is it good? Lol.

  2. Thanks for the heads up, I went in once because I’m originally from the SW and was craving some Sonoran style Mexican food. Couldn’t find green chilis at other stores in the immediate area. Now I know to avoid them, or at least be vigilant.

I was using lobster as an example of personal experience.. Canned lobster is perfectly fine if you are using it as part of something larger. It's very much used commercially in restaurants and food production. Raw lobster goes in the can... sealed. And then the heat of pasteurization cooks it in the can.. no worse than canned tuna, crab.. etc.. The crab in take out crab rangoon i can guarantee came out of a can. Wanna make a lobster bisque.. thats a couple cans of tail meat added at the end of the process, so it juat heats up.

A friend of mine also got reamed out and fired on first day by the dude because she was taking a picture of some piping tips.. dude accused her of trying to steal his recipes and threatened to smash her phone.

What brand(s) do you recommend? I’ve tried canned seafood and it tastes/smells very fishy. I think I was ruined by getting seafood in Alaska but lobster bisque is one of my absolute favorites!

I usually just get what my wholesaler has in stock or what's cheapest at the store, honestly.. I also have a restaurant depot card, so same deal..
