I did read a review years ago of a restaurant located on the Negril beach...the reviewer accused the chef of stealing the claws from their lobsters. It gave me a good giggle...

Agreed, they are lobsters, but I don't think they taste as good as their northern counterparts. Not even close! Most everything else is better in Negril, but not the Lobster, IMHO.,
