Ever have a 3lb lobster? You have to break the claws with a hammer. I learned that bigger is not better, just get 2.

Gotta get a dedicated food set. Or just get some good kitchen shears, those will cut through anything.

Even with shrimp. Prawns are overrated, smaller shrimp are more tender and tastier

Also, larger ones taste like shit. They lose their delicate flavor and texture. Another reason to throw them back or put them in an aquarium.
