Fresh Lobster is a great way to add some healthy alternative food choices to your diet. Seafood is very low in fat and high in protein and the fats that are present are primarily the Omega's which are good fats to ingest.

Nutrition studies show that 3 1/2 ounces of lobster meat (no butter) contains only 90 calories. Compare that to163 calories for chicken and 280 calories for sirloin steak.

Lobster also contains omega-3 fatty acids, the "good " cholesterol that seems to reduce hardening of the arteries and decrease the risk of heart attacks. Lobster does not contain as much Omega-3 fatty acids as salmon or other fatty fishes, but it is a good source nonetheless.

In summary, lobster is high in protein, is a beneficial source of Omega-3 fatty acids and extremely low in fat, which are healthy for your heart.

Lobsters themselves have a very healthy diet such as: fish, crabs, clams and mussels. They are not manipulated by scientists or man. They are very natural.

What do lobsters eat?

Lobsters crawl around the bottom of the sea hunting for food at night. They will eat dead food, but their diet consist of crabs, fish, clams, mussels and sea urchins.  They eat over 100 different types of seafood and plants.

Where do they live?

They live in rocky areas off the coast and hide in seaweed, rocks  during the day and are out and about at night. Lobsters can live to be 140 years or more and can travel 100 miles in a year!

What about the color?

When we picture a lobster, we think of them as being red but that is only after they are cooked. When alive they are greenish brown, blue, yellow and even white.

What is the white goopy stuff  in the Lobster?

This is their blood (it is clear while they are alive and turns white when cooked). It is harmless and can be washed off.

What is the icky green stuff inside the body of Lobster?

That is the lobsters liver or digestive system called “tomalley”, it is safe to eat if you like.

There was a rare yellow lobster caught by fishermen off the coast of P.E.I.

This rare yellow lobster was caught and its rare genetic mutation produces yellow lobsters at a rate of about 1 in 30 million. Wow, what are the odds of that?

The restaurant owner says the yellow lobster, which is now known as "Fiona" is safe at his eatery and that he'll keep it on display rather than cook it.
