What is does lobster taste like crab?

While both lobster and crab are crustaceans and share a family resemblance, they don't taste exactly the same.

Lobster tends to have a slightly sweeter, richer, and more buttery flavor compared to crab. The texture of lobster meat is also often described as firmer and more dense than crab meat.

Crab, on the other hand, has a more pronounced "seafood" flavor, which some might describe as slightly fishier or brinier. Its meat is generally more delicate and can be flakier than lobster. Different species of crab will also have varying flavor profiles; for example, Dungeness crab is known for its sweet and delicate flavor, while blue crab has a more robust, savory taste.

Ultimately, taste is subjective, but generally, lobster is considered sweeter and richer, while crab is more "seafood-y" and briny.
