Finally the next grade is divided into two industrial grades. The first is grade is Market. This means that these lobsters can be sold at local markets and to local customers. The next grade is called Canners. These are low quality lobsters that are cooked for meat at processing plants.
The next is grade B. These are generally lobsters that are caught in the summer, their shells are firm or medium hard. The molting process was not very recent, but the hard shell is still forming. The meat in these lobsters are not as robust as in grade A, but they are still delectable!
Super jumbos are caught by offshore trawlers in the deep waters off Canada, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. They make an impressive gift for your seafood loving friends or business associates. How about a big lobster for Dad for Father’s Day?
What is the best lobster size for eating? For the true lobster experience each person should crack into his or her own individual lobster. No sharing allowed, unless you order a large jumbo lobster! The larger lobsters not only weigh more but will have a higher proportion of meat. Hence, they will cost more per pound. Sometimes the real big lobsters can be cheaper per pound than Select lobsters. here
You can get a good idea of the cost of meat per pound with a simple formula using the price per/lb. of live lobsters multiplied by the number of lobsters needed to make a l lb. of cooked meat. more
We'll be talking lobster all week, starting with the best way to buy them, and moving on to a taste test of hard versus soft shell lobsters, as well as an analysis of the best way to cook and shuck them. Of course, we'll have brand new recipes for you all week as well.
As a native New Englander, lobster is supposed to be in my blood, if not my belly. Lobster rolls, grilled lobster, lobster salad, full-on clam bakes (which should really be called "lobster buries"), or the simplest, steamed lobster with drawn butter are more than a way of living, they're an entire tourist and export industry unto their own.
This can result in off-puttingly mushy meat in the upper areas of the tail within as little as an hour or two after death. Removing the tail and claws immediately and shipping them frozen can solve part of this problem (that's why you'll rarely if ever see frozen whole lobsters for sale), but better is to keep them alive until cooking. more
Fine Dining and Unique Lobster Experiences in Southern Maine: Portland Maine is a foodie’s paradise and a great place have a more unique or high-end Maine lobster experience. Head to the Holy Donut on Park Avenue to experience lobster donuts or to Zapoteca for lobster guacamole. For more gourmet lobster dishes check out Fore Street or Street and Co (their menus change daily) or head to Five Fifty-Five and try their truffled lobster mac and cheese. If you’re in Freeport and in the mood for fine dining, I definitely recommend having dinner at Maine Harvest in the Harraseeket Inn. They offer a variety of inventive lobster dishes as well as an amazing, award-winning lobster stew. In Ogunquit, The White Barn Inn serves poached lobster in a white table cloth setting while the Inn By The Sea in Cape Elizabeth host lobster bakes and serve lobster shrimp dumplings in their Sea Glass restaurant. here
Buying Fresh Lobster in Midcoast Maine: If you want to purchase live Maine lobster from midcoast Maine or have it delivered to you via Fed Ex try Sea Hag Seafood in Tenants Harbor or Hancock Gourmet Lobster in Topsham. Many fishermen will also be willing to sell you fresh lobster off the docks. [links]
Fine Dining and Unique Lobster Experience in Midcoast Maine: If you are visiting Boothbay and are looking for an authentic, historic lobster experience, try a Cabbage Island Clambake. For farm-to-table fine dining on a remote island, Nebo Lodge on North Haven offers an inventive, seasonal menu, featuring dishes such as Maine Lobster Bohemienne, with Cognac Cream Sauce, Maine Corn Pudding and Corn Muffins. Natalie’s in Camden offers a five course Lobster Tasting Menu that changes daily. Rockland is the place to be in early August when it hosts to the Maine lobster festival. Each year, over 20,000 pounds of lobster is served to hungry visitors in the form of shore dinners and lobster rolls while a plethora of lobster-themed events – from lobster crate races to a lobster cooking contest – take place. For a more low key summer festival which celebrates the Maine lobster season, check out Friendship Day in Friendship Maine. Vinal Haven and Monhegan are two beautiful islands with thriving lobster fishing communities which you can easily visit via ferry. [links]
Midcoast Maine Lobster Shacks: Probably the most famous lobster shack in Midcoast Maine is Red’s Eats in Wiscasset. It’s more of a roadside hut than a shack but it serves lobster rolls so sublime people are willing to wait up to an hour in line for one. For rustic lobster shacks with stunning coastal views try Waterman’s Beach Lobster in South Thomaston, Shaw’s Fish and Lobster Wharf in New Harbor, Estes Lobster House, Harpswell Neck or Five Islands Lobster Co. in Georgetown (possibly the most picturesque place to enjoy a lobster dinner in Maine, period).
