What do you think is an overrated food? (lemmy.world)

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.

As someone with an aversion and allergy, Asian and Italian foods are the worst for hidden seafood. I have to be super careful even with "vegetarian" dishes. Why the fuck are anchovies and fish oil in everything?!?!?! To give examples, restaurants loooooove to put non-vegan kimchi in their veggie dishes, and Caesar dressing often has surprise anchovies

Mexico and Canada also love clam juice based cocktails for some reason. I love Micheladas but they never disclose whether or not they have clamato. Caesars are completely off the table for me.
