            @cheapy: Sure but they don’t have nociceptors like animals. Maybe it’s just “pain as we relate to it”, but that’s what separates us from the plant kingdom. Except the Mexican Screams-in-Agony Plant of course.

          Lives ones? For $27.99, you can get about 100gm of it potentially.

      Pretty easy to get some Aussie rock lobsters from the local seafood shop. Costs a lot more than these Aldi tails though. You get what you pay for.

      The funny part about the Aussie Lobster, I went to China end of last year and the live Aussie Lob there are cheaper than my local seafood store, about 20% cheaper.
      Why?

          Why neg me? Lol. It could be the market seller has bulk buy the Aussie lobsters and therefore able to sell at cheaper price. The operating costs there are definitely cheaper than in Australia. Travel more mate

            @OhNoUShiz: Yea. When we lived across Asia pacific too, was cheaper to eat live AU lobster than in AU.

          • lonewolf on 30/10/2020 - 19:38

            @OhNoUShiz: I would say its also the fact that people in those countries will refuse to pay more than a set amount while we have let retailers make us believe these items are worth the amount they charge us. They just make a huge profit on us.

      • RedHab on 30/10/2020 - 08:35

        Not only Aussie lobster. Lots of other things too - Tasmanian Apples cost around 40% less in China than Australia.

        Why, you ask?
        1. Expensive Aussie labour. Works in two ways, locals willing to pay more, and stores have to pay workers more.
        2. Monopolies or Duopolies on trucking, market agents and local stores
        3. Insane real estate prices causing high rents

          locals willing to pay more

          This, I bought my $329 AUD RRP Rode (Australian Brand) microphone for $149 AUD delivered from the UK. In this case absolutely nothing to do with labour, rent, monopolies. Everything to do with 'because they can sell it for that'

          • lonewolf on 30/10/2020 - 19:38

            @Jackson: Exactly right, The distributors and retailers know they can get away with exorbitant prices on us so they do.

      • Baghern on 21/11/2020 - 12:25

        Its about wholesale cost vs retail price.

        Just like the farmers, Australian bought is small% to wholesaler,while the middleman and the retailer takes a big chunk

        Shipping bulk to China in bulk for a higher (relative) wholesale price, but where labour and transaction costs are much lower.

        Yep plenty of crays (lobsters) around Perth, quick trip out on the boat and we'll have plenty for Christmas lunch much bigger than these :-)

        On another note we normally export 90% or more of the western Rock lobster we catch to China so Covid has left a few extra for us locals this year.

        The buyers with the money to pay the most.

        But local lobster is available here. It's not cheap to buy.
        A sharp fall in overseas demand will see Australian consumers able to buy rock lobster below international rates

        So you must now be asked for permission before sellers can export products??

    • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2020 - 07:06

      Well ever since 2014 SA lobsters have been around $370 a kg.

      You can get them but when they're about 3kg in size you'll pay a pretty penny!

      China has no issue about cost.

      I believe the fishermen alone get around $90+ a kg for the catch.

    Are there any chef here that can assist with my question?

    Is there any difference between taking it out from the freezer and putting it straight into the oven than defrosting with cold water and then putting it in the oven? Does it taste the same?

    I've been producing great oven food lately by defrosting them in cold water first and then putting into the oven.

    • lgacb08 on 29/10/2020 - 20:55
      +3

      no chef but if you put frozen food straight into oven, chances are the inside will be cold when the skin start burning

    • 9hundred on 29/10/2020 - 20:55
      +1

      you need to defrost it first for even cooking

      • Homr on 29/10/2020 - 20:56

        Is there any difference between defrosting by putting in the fridge and defrosting by putting it in cold water?

    • dasher86 on 29/10/2020 - 20:57
      +2

      Not a chef..but when you defrost food and allow it to reach an even temperature it cooks more evenly.
      If you put it straight into the oven but the time the outside is cooked it's still cold/frozen in the middle so you cook it for longer, so you overcook parts to get everything to cooked.

    • Tightmike on 29/10/2020 - 22:41
      +2

      The best way to defrost any raw food is naturally in a fridge.

      The best way to defrost seafood is in a colander, or some other drainage means, elevated above a bowl so that the defrosting liquid drains away from defrosting product, and the product is not sitting in any liquid. This will give you the best possible quality for your food.

      Definitely never cook meats of any variety from frozen. The core temperature will not reach a safe level before the external surface far exceeds an optimal cooked state. There can be exceptions to this rule for some specific foods, such as thinly sliced beef/liver/tuna for special preparations.

      One great way to understand the quality changes between different defrosting methods is to use frozen cooked, peeled shrimp or prawns. Defrost 1 in water, 1 at room temperature, 1 in a bowl in a fridge, 1 in boiling water and 1 using the above method. Trial them all side by side, you’ll find the differences astonishing.

      • clandestino on 29/10/2020 - 23:01

        I don't want to do your prawn defrosting experiment. Just tell us which way is the best please?! Lol.

          Do you mean colander in the fridge? Or colander at room temp?

          What I read is - Best environment to defrost is in fridge. Best method (for seafood) is using a colander.

            +1

            @Ughhh: Correct, and the colander must be elevated above a bowl so the defrosting food does not sit in liquid draining away.

      • Homr on 29/10/2020 - 23:13

          The colander, in a frudge method.

      • soggypotato on 30/10/2020 - 01:32

        cant you just cook it the oven at a low temp for a long time instead of defrosting? e.g. 135C for 40min

        • Tightmike on 30/10/2020 - 05:34
