Hot or cold lobster and crab are on our menu

Reader and genuine down-easter Patrick Rocca (and others) have commented on the South Bayview Bulldog’s preference for lobster as a hot dish. This arose (post below) on our observation that the McLobster was a disappointment because we were expecting a hot dish.  Expectations are so important. It was no doubt careless to anticipate something like a luscious Hot Lobster Roll (left) when we hit the Bayview-Eglinton McDonald’s. And we certainly should not have expected it at $6.79. There are just so many hot lobster dishes that it seemed natural to expect it.  Ever tucked into Lobster Cantonese style?  As to cold seafood, those who have been fortunate to visit Joe’s Stone Crab (right) in Miami will have been whisked to tongue-tickling heaven when they eat this delicacy with a little lemon mayonnaise. Late add: A reader writes that a small plate of stone crabs at Joe’s is now $30.
