In the past, lobsters were regarded as bottom feeders and dirty animals because they lived at the sea’s bottom. However, this wrong perception has changed and today, lobsters are regarded as a delicacy.

I personally do not like lobster because they are scavengers.  They have even been known to scavenge on drowned people nevermind dead fish etc.
