If you’ve never eaten lobster fresh off the boat, you’re in for something special - and you don’t even have to leave home!
Live Lobster Delivery - Surf And Turf
Frozen lobster tails make a great gift idea, but did you know that you can also give (or get) live lobsters delivered as a gift? Live lobster delivery is a reality thanks to fast shipping services like UPS and dry ice. Live lobsters are carefully selected so that you receive only the finest quality lobsters. When you’re ready for a party you can buy frozen lobster tails, or you can have an entire meal including the chowder delivered and ready to go. The lobsters are caught and shipped out to you the same day you place your order. Most of the frozen lobster tails that you will find on the market come from a spiny clawless species of lobster, of which there are around 45 different species all over the world. A clawed lobster is preferable if you are eating it whole, but for lobster tails, the clawless species are much better for the money, as their tails contain more meat in them.
Cooking Frozen Lobster Gifts - How To Cook Frozen Lobster
Lobster tails are easier to get than whole fresh lobsters, easier to prepare and easier on the pocket, and serving up a perfect platter of mouth-watering lobster tails will definitely provide you with a meal that your guests are not likely to forget. Lobster tails may be cooked frozen, however, the best results are obtained when the frozen lobster meat is defrosted first. To defrost frozen lobster tails, place them in the refrigerator for a period of 8 - 10 hours or alternatively place them in a bowl of cold water. They can be defrosted in the microwave, but make sure that you are careful not to start to cook the frozen lobster tail instead.

Lobster recipes: Have a clambake
Cooking Lobster is easy. There are several methods of cooking lobster tails. They can be boiled, grilled, steamed or baked. Keep in mind that if you like them moist rather than dry, you might prefer boiling and steaming them. One very good frozen lobster tail recipe calls for the insertion of a wooden skewer into the tails to prevent them from curling up. Prepare a large saucepan of salted water, and once the water has reached a fierce boil, drop the tails in and cook for about 4 minutes. Drain the tails and position them on their backs once they have cooled slightly. Pour on some melted butter with a little fresh lemon juice, and you are good to go.
For baked lobster tails buy frozen lobster and preheat the oven to 400°F. Split the soft shell of the lobster tail in half lengthwise with a sturdy knife. Place the lobster tails on a baking tray and brush them with melted butter. Bake in the oven for between 8 and 10 minutes, and serve hot with lemon slices, melted butter or mayonnaise. Cooking lobster is a fun family activity.
If there’s one thing that goes better with summer than grilled burgers, it's a clambake. The tradition goes back to the Native Americans who taught the new comers the art of steaming clams, corn, potatoes and other things in a hole in the ground. This ancient form of cooking has grown in popularity and is an event for celebration all over the world. Typically the menu will include:
3 to 4 pounds of clams
6 to 10 large baking potatoes
6 medium onions, peeled
6 to 10 ears of corn (husk left on but silk removed)
Some live lobsters
Some lemons cut into wedges
Lots of melted butter
The traditional method for throwing a clambake is to start by digging a hole in the ground. Cover the bottom of the hole with large stones and build a large, hot fire on top of the stones.
This fire needs to burn for a couple of hours to heat those stones as hot as they can get. When the food is ready wrap it in cheesecloth and pack it into the hole along with wet seaweed. The moisture in the seaweed with steam the food nicely. Enjoy!
