The McLobster — yes, that's a lobster roll made by McDonald's — is now available in Western Canada for the first time.
And it's pretty controversial.
McLobster - or as it is known in Atlantic Canada - "the McHurl"
Yes, it's real lobster. But it's also real lobster from McDonald's.
Some people were really excited, like this dude who wanted to be one of the first people in Alberta to get his hands on one.
Others deemed it merely "acceptable."
For $8, it's acceptable. Not sure I like the citrusy sauce but lobster is quite meaty. #mclobster from @McD_Canada
Or politely mediocre.
I give the McLobster a 5.5/10. Lacked "zing". Even just a little salt and pepper would have enhanced the flavour.
Others? Not impressed at all.
🎶Ba-da-ba-da-ba I'm not loving it🎶 #McLobster
So disappointed with this so-called "McLobster". More like #McDonalds #McLobsterFail. Good it's only for one day.
going to try my best to live tweet while I eat this mclobster
yeah it sucks
Harsh.
I introduce this sandwich as definitive proof that Canadian society has pasted it's prime. #McLobster
Presentation clearly varied.

The McLobster is available until June 30, or until supplies run out, or until Westerners discover what a real lobster roll looks like.
