Some
advice on lobster
|
|
|
Here
are a few basic tips for choosing the best quality live lobster:
|
|
Color
- Quality live lobsters are most commonly greenish brown/black,
but can also be blue, yellow, red or very rarely white. Color
does not affect flavor or texture.
|
|
Activity
-
Live lobsters should be active with their claws held up (not hanging
limply) and with their tails curled under them.
|
|
Appearance
- Black marks or holes in the shell are the result of wear and
tear, or indicate an older lobster has not recently shed its shell.
They are not harmful in any way.
|
|
Hard
or New?
- Choose hard or new shell lobster, depending on your preference:
|
|
Hard
shells are fuller, but require utensils to gain access to the
meat. New shell lobsters have recently molted (shed their old
shell) and are growing into their new shells. A lobster in size
by about 20% with each molt.

This
used half round lobster trap are the real old style there were
fished back 50 years ago. The trap was made by steaming the
oak and bending it to form. This trap usually measures 36"
length, 25" wide, 17" high. This type of lobster trap
is becoming very scarce in the industry.
