This is the most interesting twist. When Europeans came to America, there were SO many lobsters in the sea that they washed up on the beach in piles 2 feet high.
In America in the 1600s-1800s, lobster was considered trash food. Servants and prisoners were fed lobster every day, and they protested in court saying they don't want to eat lobster more than 3 times a week. Farmers used lobster as fertilizer for their fields.
