Lobster Potato Chips



Today I have a horror for you that I have actually eaten. Living on the east coast, lobster is not the high-end fancy food that you use to set the scene for important occasions. No, here it is eaten cold as picnic fare. It’s also eaten in potato chip form. Yes, gentle reader, you read that correctly. Lobster potato chips.

I don’t eat seafood normally, but I have tried these in the past and will happily relay my fond memories to you.

The chips come in a double wrapped bag because their odor is so incredibly pungent. They have a distinct rotten fish smell that is enough to turn any sailor’s stomach, and unsurprisingly taste much as you would expect. Salty, fishy, gag-inducing, all in one convenient bag. The good news is that these probably don’t contain actual lobster, as far as I can tell from the label. The bad news is that there is some manufactured compound that tastes like spoiled seafood. I’m glad I wasn’t the tester for that.

Should you eat this? No. Not ever. Not even if you like lobster.

Have I personally tried this? Yes.
