🦞 Why Cold-Water Lobster Is the Gold Standard

Not all lobster is created equal. Cold-water species, like those harvested off the coast of Maine, are considered premium for a reason:

• Sweeter, firmer meat than warm-water varieties

• Richer flavor with clean ocean brininess

• Better texture for boiling, steaming, or baking

• Easier to crack cleanly for whole meat sections

🔥 How to Cook Whole Lobster (Boiling or Steaming)

Cooking lobster is surprisingly easy when you start with quality seafood.

How to Boil:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a full rolling boil.

2. Add live or thawed lobster.

3. Boil 12–15 minutes (for 1½ to 2 lb lobsters).

4. Remove and rest for 5 minutes before cracking.

How to Steam:

1. Fill 2 inches of water in a large pot.

2. Place steamer rack or insert.

3. Cover tightly and steam for 14–16 minutes.

You'll know it’s done when the shell turns bright red and juices run clear.

🔨 How to Crack Lobster Like a Pro

Once cooked, use kitchen shears or a lobster cracker to get to the meat.

Start with:

• Claws: Twist off, crack at the joint, pull out the meat in one piece.

• Knuckles: Use shears to cut along the length and open.

• Tail: Bend backward and snap off. Cut underside shell and slide the meat out whole.

👉 Lobster Claws and tails are also available prepped and frozen for convenience.
