I read once that in the lumber camps in Western Canada, in BC, lobster meat was forbidden to be given to the loggers. It was considered a cheap lousy food at that time.

I even read that in the past, prisoners in NE were often fed
lobster until they finally complained enough that it stopped.

It *is* a fairly bland meat on it's own. Crab and shrimp are
tastier.
