I have never found any benefit or advantage to soft-shell lobsters, but have always found their meat and flavor inferior. If there's a benefit, it's that you can crack through the claws with your fingers, but what meat you get is inferior to that of a hard shell lobster. Are you specifially hoping to get a softshell lobster for any reason, or is that just what they're offering? They should be priced much less than hardshells (and usually for the reason that they're not as good).
