They used lobster back in the 1800s because it was cheap and plentiful.They also fed pigs lobster on Cape Cod back into Colonial days.

On a related note, there was a law passed restricting the number of days per week servants could be fed salmon. Seems the servants were tired of eating so much salmon and protested.
