Getting Live Lobster To Fix In Your Own Kitchen

By Debra Schmidt


Restaurants that serve seafood are popular with many people today. As popular as they are, however, these places sometimes are expensive and beyond what people can afford. They also tend to get busy during the evening and weekends when people typically like to go out to eat. Instead of spending money at restaurants that may or may not have a table open, seafood fans instead may consider buying a live lobster and making their favorite meal at home. They can learn how to cook one of these crustaceans and also know how to buy a good one from their preferred market or grocery store by taking these tips into consideration.

The store at which they shop can be critical in and of itself. A suitable grocery store ideally will look clean and sanitary. Its crustacean tank will also be clear and free from debris and murkiness that makes seeing the creatures impossible. Stores that have good reputations among local shoppers could be the wisest pick for this purchase.

Another tip for purchasing involves making sure that the crustaceans are healthy looking and free from any signs of injury or illness. If the lobsters are listless or if they look like they have been injured, they may be avoided in favor of others in the tank. If all of them look ill, shoppers may find it better to do business at an other grocery store.

It also might benefit people to comparison shop, given the prices for lobsters throughout the year. Prices tend to be lowest in the autumn when these creatures are harvested from the sea. Even so, stores charge different prices, making it necessary for bargain hunters to look around before buying.

Just as soon as people get home, they may put their lobsters in the refrigerator if they are not ready to start dinner. The crustaceans can stay in there for several hours. They go into a hibernation state while being refrigerated.

To prepare them, individuals may do well to bring a stock pot full of water to a boil. The water can be seasoned with salt and other spices if preferred. Once the water is boiling, people can then gently lower their lobsters into the pot. As they boil, these crustaceans will turn a bright red color. Boiling times vary; however, it is typically recommended that the meal boils for at least 12 to 15 minutes per one pound. This cooking time can be longer if the lobsters are bigger.

To finish off the meal and to make cooking easier, people can add items like potatoes and corn on the cob to the water about seven minutes into the boiling process. The rapid boil will cook the food and also provide suitable side dishes for dinner. They may also add crawdads or crab legs.

Cooking a lobster that is alive tends to be easy when people use some common sense tips. These suggestions could help them prepare a restaurant worthy meal. They also can add sides during the preparation process for easier meal creations.
