We love Lobster Gram!
(…and yes, if you click on these links they do give us a little credit…and then we eat more lobster…circle of life!)

I’m having an Oyster party (my very first one), how long before the party can I shuck the oysters if I immediately put them on ice? Or do the Oysters have to be shucked and eaten immediately?
They will be eaten raw, I’m going to bbq a few, but the majority of them will be eaten raw. I will only plan to shuck a portion of them about 20 minutes before all the guests start showing up and will put them immediately on ice. Thanks for the advice!

As long as you ice them down after shucking them it won’t be a problem.
Oysters need to be kept cold when they are caught and transported to your store.
Oysters will spoil quickly if they are allowed to get hot before using them.

some lobster tails come precooked in which case you would just have to thaw and reheat.

the raw frozen Lobster Tails can be thawed in the fridge overnight or placed in a bag then into a bowl with cold running water for about 25 min. if you’re in a hurry. Then boiled for about 7-9 minutes depending on the size.

If its about the size of a regular potato, boil for 7-8 minutes. The shell turns red as it cooks.

I was going to buy Nike blue lobsters on kixclusive.com but they ended up being sold out when i tried. Does anyone know anywhere else i might be able to find them?

google it

It makes me feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes they are waiting some time and I just feel it is needlessly cruel. Anyone who cooks lobster, can you tell me how much pain the procedures involve for the creature? This is a serious question.

They don’t feel pain. The humane way to do it is put the live lobster in cool water, then turn the burner on and the water gradually warms up. Lobsters are cold water fish, warm water puts them to sleep. So they’ll slowly go to sleep and basically die in their sleep. When people talk about the lobsters ’screaming’, that’s just the steam escaping from the shell. Lobsters have no vocal cords.

Thaw it and broil it under a hot heat until it just turns pink. Check the package ofr specific time.
Be sure to brush it with butter before you get broil it and after it comes out.

Serve it with either a garlic lemon butter, or with a simple drwn butter.

I forgot to tell you.. if it is still in the shell. cut the shell down the middle, and pull the meat out siting it on top of the shell.

Not worth the chance, take the loss and chuck it out…

I am making a noodle casserole.
I need to know how to COOK them, not what to do with them.
Do I boil them? Frozen or defrosted? How long?
Thanks

What does your recipe say?

Lobster doesn’t take long to cook and if you over cook it, it will get rubbery. If you are making a casserole, that implies that you will be baking it in the oven at some point. That is probably the only cooking that your lobster will need.

Generally, Lobster is boiled, steamed, or grilled.

I am thawing out the tails in cold water and want to grill them but not lose the juices.

Wrap in tin foil with a little butter, salt, and pepper and put on the grill. This will help in slowly steaming them to cook. You could unwrap at the last minute and just mark them on the grill. This works great for corn on the cob too.
