Only eaten it twice and sick as a dog both times. Perhaps an allergy, I have never risked it again!

Now, you’ll have to work for this one, lobster is ’homarus’.

Looks like a J boat to me, in which case they are required by law to have a J somewhere in their name

I am allergic to all crustaceans. The symptoms are swelling lips and throat, and an itchy rash if there is skin exposure. It came on in my late 30s, so unfortunately I know I like the things! Probably started by a crustacean's haemolymph getting into a cut on my hands when shelling prawns. Being sick sounds more like exposure to an iffy lobster.

It's actually a fairly serious matter for me - my wife is from Hong Kong, where a usual seasoning in food is dried shrimp! So I have to be very careful when in Hong Kong.
