It is actually illegal in someplaces to boil them alive.

The more humane way to cook them is by first freezeng them that way they don't suffer.

There are studies demonstrating that lobsters feel pain and also suffer.

Let's be responsable! if we kill to eat, the least we can do is provide a decent death to the animals. We owe them that.

Why was my lobster shell black before and after cooking Is it safe to eat?

Lobster shells can appear black due to a variety of factors, including genetic variations, environmental conditions, or the presence of certain conditions like stress or disease. If the lobster was alive and healthy before cooking, it is generally safe to eat, regardless of the shell color. However, if the lobster showed signs of spoilage or abnormal odor before cooking, it’s best to err on the side of caution and not consume it. Always ensure that seafood is sourced from reputable suppliers and cooked properly to ensure safety.

No, there is no difference in the process used. However, it isn't advisable to cook dead lobster unless you killed it immediately before putting it in the pot.

How long do you let loster tails cook?

Like most shellfish, lobster meat is very delicate and cooks fast. I usually steam lobster oppose to broiling because it tends to come out dry, rubbery and overcooked when broiled. Lobster meat should be thawed out before cooking and can be done quickly by soaking in cold water. Only steam lobster for no more than five minutes and that's whole lobster with the shell. If you're cooking only lobster tails then steam for 3-4 minutes. For a great dipping sauce melt butter, add lemon and diced garlic :)


Why does the grilled lobster stick to the shell?

Grilled lobster can stick to the shell due to a few reasons, including the cooking method and temperature. When lobster is grilled, the high heat can cause the meat to contract and bond to the shell, especially if it’s cooked for too long. Additionally, if the lobster is not properly cleaned or if it has been frozen, the proteins may adhere more firmly to the shell during cooking. Properly cooking and carefully removing the lobster can help minimize this sticking issue.
