Deciding To Have Live Lobster Shipped Should Not Be Done Lightly

By Patricia Barnes


When traveling to seaside destinations many people love to enjoy visiting seafood restaurants. While some are quite happy to eat cheaper fish, others will take the opportunity to spoil themselves by eating delicacies such as live lobster shipped directly from the Indian Ocean.

The best tasting barnacle is said to have been caught by hand and immediately placed in water from their natural environment. If caught by fishing trawlers they usually become very stressed while being netted which will ultimately affect the taste of their meat. A barnacle that has been left un- frightened is the best for cooking as trauma affects their hormone levels which will ultimately affect the quality of the meat.

Much of the sea creatures that can be bought have been shipped frozen and in bulk. This is a terrible travesty as you will still pay the same price for frozen sea food unknowingly when eating in a restaurant. Ideally they should be transported in temperature regulated water and in tanks that are not too crowded as this too will affect the animal's stress levels.

Many companies even transport frozen barnacles in bulk so that more meat can be shipped in bulk. Frozen meat loses its flavor tremendously and is not worth the price that you are expected to pay for it. Ask your waiter before ordering to ensure that the meal you are buying is not pre- frozen.

The best way to ensure this is to personally choose the creature of your choice from the aquarium on display in the restaurant. Avoid buying barnacle that is too large as these are often older ones whose meat is not as tender. The more red the sea creature is, the better it is likely to taste too. A red bright one is often a sign of good blood flow which equates to very tender meat.

If the animal is frightened during the catching process it will once again release a lot of adrenaline and now particularly just prior to being cooked, resulting in tough meat. Try to order yours before any other patrons as the catching of the one that is cooked prior to yours is also likely to frighten the other sea creatures. If the aquarium has too many barnacles they may become aggressive with each other which yet again equates to tough meat.

These creatures must be cooked while fully calm. It is best if they are cooked in their original water and brought to the boil from a very low temperature. The creature will not notice that it is being cooked alive as it is a cold blooded animal and will nor feel the water temperature rising. Beware that some restaurants prefer to kill them beforehand to speed up cooking time, insist that yours is not killed before cooking.

Your best bet for the most divine seafood is definitely to order live shipped lobster. Because of the high costs involved you must make sure that you do your homework before simply ordering lobster at just any restaurant. Look for a restaurant with the best reviews to make sure that you are eating lobster that is prepared the right way.
