You will feel like a King when eating fresh lobster and you never forget your first taste. Lobster is a delicacy and there are many ways to prepare and enjoy it.
Before heading out and buying one, you should learn a bit about what exactly a lobster is, how to prepare and serve it and where to buy it from.
A lobster is actually a broadly used term to describe a marine creature known as a crustacean. There are large clawed lobsters and then there are those without claws. Several types of lobsters that do not have claws are spiny lobsters, slipper lobsters, and squat lobsters.
What you usually think of when you think of eating a lobster is the clawed lobster, the reef lobster, and even the small freshwater crawfish. (Crawfish are found in many Creole and southern recipes.)
If you love seafood, you will almost definitely find lobster to be one of the tastiest and most special types. The lobster looks almost regal, sitting on the plate, and you know with a glance it is going to be succulent and bursting with flavor. Lobster is not cheap but you do get what you pay for.
The best prices (and usually the freshest lobster) is usually found in fishing villages and coastal areas. The price goes up the further you get from the sea. Lobster prices can range from $7.95 to around $29.95 per pound. This depends on the retailer and the location.
If you plan to spend that much on a meal, it is very important that you know how to prepare and cook the lobster. It might seem daunting because it is a new food and cost a lot but it is quite easy to prepare lobster. You should buy one lobster per person, as a general rule. Some fishmongers offer to steam the lobster before you go home with it but it is best to take the lobster home live if you can because the taste will be fresher.
When you have grilled, boiled or steamed your lobster, you can choose a simple recipe to use it in. One way is to serve the lobster with a bib, some butter and lemon to squeeze over it.
The simple lobster recipes tend to be the best way to enjoy the food. Lobster is a very special food and does not require a lot of frills to dress it up. If you do have leftovers (which is rare but might happen on occasion) you can take the lobster out of the shell and make lobster salad or a lobster po'boy sandwich for the following day's lunch.
Eating lobster can make you feel like a true foodie. Remember, you do not have to be a gourmet food snob to enjoy delectable dishes like lobster. As long as you understand where to buy the lobster, how to prepare it, and find a great lobster recipe, you are sure to have a meal to remember. If you are a lobster novice, try your hand at doing a little research in the form of visiting your favorite local seafood restaurant and ordering up!
