It's not like beef, where they can be aged/marinated/grilled differently.
I'm a regular lobster eater and can't tell the difference either. But the lobster pound I eat at most often in Maine sends their boats on a four hour RT daily to catch lobsters that they could catch 50 yards from their dock. They swear that the lobsters they catch in Vinalhaven, ME are much sweeter than any others. And this pound has customers waiting in long lines to eat there everyday.
So there may be something to their theory.
Plus this pound boils them in ocean water and they claim that's a "secret" to better taste as well.
