How do lobsters taste their food?

Lobsters basically taste with their feet and legs.

Tiny hair like bristles inside a lobster’s pincers are their equivalent to human taste buds. Meanwhile, lobsters’ teeth are in one of their three stomachs.

Lobsters use small chemosensory hairs on their legs and feet to identify their food. This is particularly useful for small creatures or food that is dissolved into the water. Lobsters also use the antennae on the front of their heads to smell food that is further away. When consuming their prey, the hairs on a lobster's front walking legs allow them to taste the food.

Combined, these features make their sense of smell so precise that they can seek out a single amino acid just by smelling.
