The Live Lobster Menu Party Tips

By Ruth Anderson


If you are thinking of preparing princely delicacies to toss up and tease your tormented palate, you have to be a little creative. More so, if you are thinking of the best way to entertain the family and friends. It is not easy to knock their socks off with a menu from another planet, especially if your daily routine is work and family, and you have no time to sample the lavish spreads that you can come up with. Plus, you might be looking for opportunities to save money given the difficult times we are all facing. If you are determined to guarantee that everyone is well fed and has a great time, consider ordering live lobster to steam and share.

This may sound like a crazy idea. In fact, you can't imagine gathering enough lobsters for everyone, ferry them home alive, and steam them, still alive, just before the party begins. The time required, the expenses and the involvement make it sound genuinely demanding. A concern that is valid, but not anymore, thanks to the internet. With internet access, online shopping allows you to order your lobsters cheaply and on time without having to leave the comfort of your sofas.

For those who have never tried it before, this may sound crazy. Surely, who has all the time going to the seafront to meet fishermen as they deliver their live catch directly from the sea? This doesn't need to worry you anymore, today, we have the internet. From the comfort of your couch, you can make your order just by dialing some buttons.

It is simple, the suppliers and local stores are bypassed. You get your order delivered directly from the fishermen, right from the sea. This means that unlike get the supplies from the store where it can stay for up to a week, you get them when they are still alive. A live one means a fresh and succulent one. The taste is great.

Preparation of a lobster is very much different from that of a shrimp. Always make sure to cool the lobsters. Twist the claws to make them come off the joints. Hammer the claws to crack them. To remove the tail, bend the body towards the backward direction. Take care while breaking the flippers. Make it a point to de-vein them. The their liver must be discarded. The liver is easy to identify as it is green in color.

Plus, if the tails are thrashing, you face the danger of being burned. Instead of boiling the poor animals to death, you may consider plunge a sharp knife in the back of its head to rob off life from it. The next step after having them dead is to prepare them for cooking.

The female ones are said to be better than their male counterparts, given a bigger tail in the females and thus more meat. Clearly, to make the best choice, you need some experience. If you are a first timer, no need to worry, the internet is full of informative resources that can help you make the greatest choice.

It matters less what you choose; instead, what counts is how tasty it is once cooked. The online platform exposes you to different types; all you need to do is to make a choice that best meets your personal preference.
