Feeling a little fond of eating lobster? Find your nearest gaming centre in Japan and hopefully you’ll find one of these Marine Catcher. I’ve seen many UFO catcher with dolls, watch, and game tickets, but this must be the first. Marine Catcher allows you to catch *live* lobsters! After that all you need to find is a fire place to cook it. Apparently, it cost 200 yen a shot. I reckon the lobsters inside there are making a bet among their own, as who will get picked next (this is the side effect of watching a little too much cartoon). Since they are alive, what are you going to do once you’ve caught them? They provide plastic bags to carry it (see the silver coloured bags there?) then what? Are you going to run to the nearest restaurant and ask them to cook it for you? Are you going to let it live on your way home? Or are you going to smack it dead and take your own sweet time as how to cook it? I would probably went around and look for a restaurant that can cook it. After all, UFO caught lobster is best served while its still fresh.
