PS its even better if you add a touch of cream to the sauce with some of the Lobster Meat

I heard that you need to Cook Lobsters and crabs when they are alive, because if you let them die or kill them, they will release some kinda toxicant into they body, is that right??

Last week, I went to a sea food restaurant and he had some fresh lobsters sitting on ice, I asked him if these are cooked, he said no. I told him about the toxicants thingy, he said I am wrong.

I think the sea food restaurant guy is clueless, right??

This pretty much applies to cattle and swine who might suspect "the end is near". You need to kill them as gently as possible usually involving a major thump on the forehead via gun or mechanical device so this urge doesn’t kick in and render the meat tough via the stress hormones involved. Chasing them around causes distress – you don’t want this. It will release stress hormones that will effect the meat.
Lobsters/crabs/shrimps don’t have this ‘feeling’ therefore, will not produce the ‘toxicant’.
They are more closely related to spiders than mammals or other animals.

Where can I buy fresh (alive) Lobster, near to where I work in London (Trafalgar Square/Charing Cross).

I would like to be able to pick some up easily in the afternoon to take home to cook a meal for that special someone.

Also, a meal for two, let’s say Thermidore, how heavy a lobster do I want for one good sized half each?

Found this link. Glad you asked the question as I myself rely on Waitrose for frozen Lobster Tails but had not looked into finding live lobster for sale.

Cheers

Kim cooks fresh Lobster Tails with melted butter and lemon on the Ez Steam Grill. Kim uses the Ez Steam Grill which steams it fast and easy. The Lobster looks great.

These lobsters were fresh from the east coast and prepared there before I got them.I dont know what was done to them but they are pink in colour.I put them in the freezer to keep them.

You put them in the freezer whole? Still in the shell? First you’ll have to thaw them. Leave them in the fridge for a couple days. Then they’re thwed you can then break them down to extract the meat. Or if you want to serve them whole, thaw them first then dip them in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes. I can’t vouch for the quality of the meat from a whole Frozen Lobster however. You might be disappointed.

Ok the question is different ways to Cook Lobster. Example is you can boil it in this and it’ll give it this type of taste or flavor or whatever. so please read the question carefully.

Boiling is usually recommended, until they turn bright red. I did this once and cried the whole time! I love lobster, but will never cook one again.

I just bought some fresh market lobster in New Brunswick. I was told they can live for 24 hours out of water, but much longer in salted water with oxygen. After three hours in cold salted water, they are not moving or reacting to stimuli.

How can I tell if they are alive?

I have about two hours before I have to decide if I cook them now.

I would cook them now. You must have put them in idodized salt. Next time, just keep them in the paper bag they came in, and put in the refrigerator. Too precious to waste!

I heard that lobsters are dumped alive in big vats of boiling water to cook them fresh, and that they can be heard screaming or making some loud noise in reaction. Is it true?? It sounds barbaric and unnecessary to eat any living creature like this.
Why dont they just let the lobster die and keep it on ice to maintain its freshness? Why boil it alive??
Are customers aware of this? Are they ok with it? Isnt there some law that should prevent this? If you’re not allowed to be inhumane to your pets then why to such creatures.
I did see in the latest episode of Hell’s Kitchen, the participants were dumping crabs and such into boiling vats of water. And some of those crabs were still moving their claws. And what about sharks that are reeled in, their fins cut off and their bleeding bodies dumped back in the sea for some tasty shark fin soup. Ever since I heard that one I stopped my hubby from ordering it in Chinese restaurants. Its ok if all of the shark was utilised but you can never tell if it was inhumanely butchered alive for fins.

Apparently they feel no pain – Check out the web site, there is fun stuff.
It’s commendable that people do not want to inflict pain on animals, but this one is false on two accounts. First of all, pain doesn’t just happen automatically – it is the result of specific receptors, nerve pathways, and brain regions all cooperating to convert certain physical stimuli into the perception of pain. This has all been thoroughly worked out in humans and other vertebrates. But guess what – lobsters and other crustaceans are not vertebrates and simply do not have these nerve pathways and brain regions (they don’t have a real brain at all, for that matter). In other words, no brain, no pain (sorry, I couldn’t resist that one!).

"What about the "scream" that lobsters sometime emit when dropped in the boiling water? There’s the problem that lobsters have no throat, no vocal cords, no lungs, so how could they scream at all? The fact is that the noise is caused by air trapped in the shell. When heated it expands and forces itself out through small gaps, causing the sound."

I’m going to make dinner for 5 person tomorrow night, so i’m thinking of making lobster ravioli. Would you please recommend me where can i get cheap & fresh lobsters in Los Angeles? Also what else should i cook?

Thanks

They look delicious! And they look the same as if they were alive… Just ready to eat. Mmmm!
