They were fed to prisoners during colonial times

It was considered cruel to serve prisoners lobster too often.

Though to be fair, it was served with the meat and shell all crushed up together and likely without salt/butter/lemon/etc.

Yeah, that's the bit people forget when they say "lobster was served to prisoners!" The entire lobster, shell and all, ground into goop. They weren't eating lobster tails with drawn butter and herbs!
