Lobster Delivery

Okay, now lets face facts here. When most people think of lobster they think their only choice of buying it is at the local market or grocery store. This is the 21st century, so lets start acting like were living in it.

You can have fresh LOBSTER DELIVERED to your house right from maine. You don't want to settle for less when buying lobster, so don't even think about buying stale ones from your local grocery store. Most of them have been sitting in their for over a week and chances are they don't feed them properly. If lobsters arn't fully nourished they don't taste as good and become stale. Research will be required when choosing a lobster company that will be delivering to your door. I will give you information to keep in mind when you decide what company will satisfy your needs further in this hub.

So how am I going to cook my Lobster after it is delivered.  First of all it is important to cook the seafood right away or keep if very cold. Most online deliveries will give you detailed instruction as to what to do with your lobster.

Steam Lobster

Fancy places will steam or health conscious.  It is just as easy to boil but you will get less water absorption in the claw but that is another story to tell

Boiled Lobster

The most popular choice and is simple.

Microwave lobster

For all you microwave cookers, yes you can do it this way. I have never tried it but I imagine you can only do one at a time.

BBQ Lobster

Yes, this is a great way. Many recipes to check out online.

Frying Lobster

Well, they now have deep fryers for the turkey, so you lobster would only take a few minutes to cook. Might be an interesting try.

Setting the mood for the evening is essential. 

Things you need:

1.      Candles

2.      Flowers –

3.      Table cloth for table – can sprinkle table with petals or sprinkle with designed confetti

4.      Music – very important for the mood setting.

Getting your lobster ready can be a fun thing to do together.  Bring your salt water to a boil. You can lemons or certain spices to the water if you like.   Make sure your lobster is still alive, but in hibernation.  Carefully clip the rubber bands off the lobster with good scissors. 

Place the head in first (If you’re a  bit squeamish about killing a lobster, his brain is the size of a grasshopper and is not formulated to feel pain). Sometimes the lobster will make a high pitched sound and all it is, is the pressure in the shell and hot water as lobsters do not have vocal cords.

The lobster might take around 15 minutes (for a one to two pound lobster). The lobster shell turns red and the tail will curl. How can know if it is cooked properly?  One trick is to try pulling off one of the small walking legs and if it comes off easily then it is done. The meat should be  firm, white, and opaque. 

I love butter with lobsters, however if you are on a watching your calories try mixing honey mustard, olive oil, and a little lemon juice for a succulent substitute. 

Don’t forget the wine to go with the lobster, yummy, there you have it.
