Is raw lobster ever okay?

I am thinking no. My family is from the coast of Maine, way Down East. Never have I heard of eating raw lobster.The thought is gross. I am a huge sushi fan too.

1st tri was asking if it was okay and everyone was responding "if it is cooked it is." like the standard sushi response.

  • Not that I'm aware of. Would you ever eat raw shrimp or crab? I think shellfish like that HAVE to be cooked simply to get them out of the shells.

  • I have had lobster carpaccio before - very thinly sliced raw lobster. I wasn't a big fan of the texture but I am sure the restaurant (it was at Corduroy in DC) wouldn't serve it if it wasn't safe.
  • That was my post. I wasn't asking if raw lobster was ok. I was asking about cooked lobster and cooked oysters. I must've worded it funny.

  • My H was in China a few years ago for business.  He was having a big dinner out with a bunch of higher ups at the company.  Since he was the guest and only foreigner at the table they were giving him all the "special and good luck" stuff first, he is still not sure what he ate. 

    One of the courses was lobster, the servers brought out a bunch of live lobsters-they all chose which they wanted then went to the next table and chopped them in half and brought them back raw.  H, having to go first was told to eat the roe (is it roe in a lobster?  the eggs anyway) and some piece from the head...he did reluctantly then when he asked if the others were going to eat it too they laughed at him and said they don't eat that shitt.  Lol.

    Anyway, yah sure you could eat it raw.  I don't think I have ever seen lobster sashimi on a menu here though.  I get scallops raw when i am not pg often.  Also I don't think the raw texture would be very appealing.

  • Wouldn't it basically be liquid?
