What’s the best way to cook a live lobster?
Steaming and boiling are the most popular methods. Steaming preserves the natural sweetness, while boiling is faster and ideal for removing meat for dishes like lobster rolls.
How do you know when a lobster is fully cooked?
A lobster is done when its shell turns bright red, and the internal temperature reaches 180°F. The meat should be opaque and firm.
Can you grill live lobster?
Yes, grilling adds a smoky flavor. Par-boil the lobster first, then slice it in half, season with butter or oil, and grill flesh-side down for 5-6 minutes.
How do you store live lobsters before cooking?
Keep them in the refrigerator covered with damp newspaper or seaweed to keep them moist. Don’t store them in water or airtight containers as they need air to survive.
What’s the difference between soft-shell and hard-shell lobsters?
Soft-shell lobsters have recently molted and are easier to crack but contain less meat. Hard-shell lobsters have more meat and are tougher to break open.
What’s the best side dish for lobster?
Popular sides include melted butter, corn on the cob, baked potatoes, coleslaw, or garlic bread for a complete seafood feast.
