No, they would just grab some large local lobsters and overcook the shit out of it. Ground up old lobster paste will make people violently sick and nobody wants to deal with that. IDK why people are spreading this rumor of it being ground up old lobster, there is ZERO evidence of that.

there is ZERO evidence of that.

Confidently incorrect people on the internet piss me off so much, you have to be intentionally obtuse not to have come across this source before

I was expecting a rick roll tbh.

Ground up lobster sounds like decent chum (fish bait). I'm sure captured pirates were often left with nothing else to eat. I suppose the crew could spare some weevil infested hard tack.

It appears that "there is ZERO evidence of that."

They aren't obtuse or malicious, they're just that stupid.

Sir, this is reddit, it's probably a Rick Roll. I ain't touching that.

There's also zero real evidence of lobsters being used a specifically "prison food" at any point, in any form:
