How to Prepare and Boil LIVE Lobster 🦐 (VIDEO HOW-TO + TUTORIAL)
Salutations Lobster Lovin' Steemians!
You clicked on this post, so I'm gonna take a wild guess that you absolutely looovvee the mouth-watering and heavenly taste of a lobster tail spritzed with tangy lemon juice and dunked in warm, drawn butter as much as I do.
If so, read and watch on my fellow lobster lovah!
However, if you’re an animal rights activist against seafood consumerism and consumption, I appreciate you stopping by, but this how-to probably isn't for you.
For some, the thought of cooking (and KILLING) a live lobster can be intimidating. It certainly was for me.
If you enjoy chowing down on America’s “favorite crustacean” know that you can do so easily from the comfort of your own home. And it won’t cost you an arm and a leg either (yes, I know that's awful lobster humor)...
Nowadays, Maine lobster is considered an "affordable luxury". Kind of funny, since lobsters were considered “poor man’s” grub since the early days of the New England colonies and as recently as the 1950′s!
While shopping at a seafood market in Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood, @alexpmorris and I decided to buy live lobsters on a whim. Our “select” sized live lobsters (1.5 lbs/each) were purchased for $6.50 (USD) per pound.
The friendly Chinatown fish mongers wouldn't disclose if they were indeed Maine lobster or lesser expensive Canadian. At that price, I'd assume they were the latter. They even threw in a bunch of scallions to boot.
Gotta love a deal in New York City!
In this video tutorial we prepare and boil a live lobsters....
In addition to its yumminess factor, eating lobster (in moderation) can be beneficial to your health.
After all, lobster is all protein (no carbs), low-cal and rich in zinc, potassium, vitamins A, B, B12, D and vital omega-3 fatty acids.
So, warm a pot, tie on a bib and get crackin’ to a healthier you!
How do you like your lobster prepared?

Broiled with cayenne or blackened seasoning and butter sauce! Lobster tastes the best when you catch it yourself in the Florida Keys!
Now that's a yummy catch! Are they mostly small or do you ever catch big ones in the Keys?
You can get big 'bugs' from the Keys up to the Miami area, but the open season brings TONS of pressure on the lobster, the short 'sport season' at the end of July wipes the majority of them out near shore.
Good to know! Judging by a lot of sailing vlogs I watch, it seems like you need to be a decent snorkeler to catch them :)
