Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

I’ve had lobster pot pie at 2 different places this year and thought both were amazing. No smashing required, and while lighter than a hearty shepard’s/cottage pie, they really hit the spot!
Also tried stone crab on our honeymoon this year, and though the shell lives up to its name, some things can be worth the effort!
If you get crustaceans out at a place, you can usually ask them to give it a few whacks in key locations with their big ass knives and then the bulk of the work is done for you.
