Live Lobster - Not Just For Special Occasions

Live lobster is not just for a special occasion! You can enjoy a great lobster meal anytime you feel like it. A live lobster is as close as a few clicks of the mouse, and can be delivered right to your front door!

The lobster you receive will be fresher than any you can purchase at your local market. So, go ahead order a live lobster or two today and get ready to impress your friends and family.

Your live lobster is treated in a very special manner prior to arriving at your home. The lobster is kept in darkened, 38 degree water, much like it’s natural habitat. This manner of keeping the lobster alive ensures a healthy and strong lobster and also ensures that abundant supplies of lobster are available during off-season.

You can get live lobsters in many sizes to suit any meal you have in mind. From a 1/4-lb. lobster for a romantic meal for two to a whopping 10-lb giant lobster for a family gathering.

A live lobster is can be used in casseroles, soups, salads, or steamed. There is not much more elegant than the simple steamed lobster and it is so easy to make. Simply heat a large pot of water to a rolling boil, plunge your live lobster in headfirst and let cook about 18 minutes if your lobster is 1-lb. or less, and about 25 minutes if your lobster is 2-lbs. Add 5 minutes boiling time per 2-lbs of lobster.

If you’re cooking more than one lobster, be sure to let the water return to a rolling boil before putting your next lobster in. Once cooked, remove and cool a bit and serve up with some melted butter for dipping those succulent pieces of lobster meat and enjoy!
