FDA warns against eating lobster liver

17 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The government warned consumers Monday not to eat
the soft, green substance found in the body cavity of lobsters, saying
it may be contaminated with a toxin.

It's still OK to eat the white lobster meat found in the claws and
tails of the undersea delicacy, but the green stuff that most diners
already avoid should definitely be discarded this year, said the Food
and Drug Administration. Known also as tomalley, the substance acts as
the liver and pancreas of the lobster.

A red tide ? or algae bloom ? ranging from Northern New England to
Canada this year has contaminated fishing grounds with high levels of
toxins that cause paralytic shellfish poisoning. The federal warning
follows similar advisories from public health authorities in Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Canada.

The warning applies to American lobster, also known as Maine lobster,
which is harvested in Atlantic waters from Canada to South Carolina.


I'm a Yankee, and my mother was a Yankee. We ate lots'o'lobster when I was
growing up in Connecticut, and we did not eat the green stuff. Neither did
my father, but he was only a Yankee transplant.

When I was growing up, there were some wonderful seaside restaurants in
the area where you could buy a lobster roll filled with real sauteed
lobster for 65 cents. :)

Sometimes I went to visit a good friend who lived in Waterbury. His father
had a fish market. On weekends, we'd deliver live lobsters (and other
seafood) to some of the restaurants in Waterbury. On foot...we were too
young to drive. We'd get a buck tip per delivery. In those days, a
complete lobster dinner, with a two pounder and all the trimmings, was
about $9.00



Damn expensive lobster. In about 1960 an Abalone dinner at Fisherman's
Wharf in San Francisco was about $3. I can remember taking the wife, then
girlfriend to Paoli's in SF in about 1967. $21 for dinner for 2. Rack of
lamb and a bottle of wine. The government and "Public Service" Unions have
caused unbridled inflation. I made $23k a year as a mid level engineer in
1980. Now is poverty level. No wonder jobs are being exported overseas.
We have raised salaries beyond any resonable level Instead of maybe 2x 3rd
world country, we are 20x.

Here's one. I made 18k in '80 my first job in IT. No degree,
previous job washing trucks. Teamsters.
Not bad, and not out of whack. About the same per hour.
Easier money.
But it quickly went up from there.
Private companies. No unions involved.
Wasn't long before I was making many times the union guys.
They basically got COLA increases.
It was the anti-union Jap car buying white collar crowd that inflated
wages. I worked with thousands and thousands of them.
How they figured pukes sitting in offices writing disposable code or
engineering crappy American products, or managing the same were
worth 5 more times than workers actually producing goods is beyond my
understanding, but I went with the money flow.
And everybody here paid my inflated white collar wages.
Those nasty "professionals." Duck for cover and get ready for a
counter attack. 8

Don, I didn't whine about having to squeeze pustules to get out the foul
smelling stuff every morning.

I can understand Harry's foul disposition, though. Damn, going through that
every morning has *got* to leave a foul taste in your mouth!
