Good luck catching a McLobster.

Folks across the Internet are lovin' all the buzz surrounding the seemingly mythical McDonald's menu item, but the fast-food company says that it has no plans to bring the crustaceans to any more of its U.S. locations.

And that goes for the McSushi, too.

While the McLobster is news to Surge Desk, it looks like the seafood sandwich has been seasonally on the menu in northern Maine and the Canadian Maritimes for at least a few years.

Intrigued? Check out this commercial:



Before you pack up the van for a northbound McLobster sampling road trip, take a look at what the folks on Twitter have to say about the sandwich.

First, McDonald's crushes the dream of tasting the item:
