Atlantic Whole Lobster: Live, Cooked, Cracked – Your Choice!
Good to know
- Keeping it
- Live: keep it in the fridge under a damp cloth, never in water or a sealed bag, and cook it the same day. Cooked: keep it in the fridge and eat it within 2 days.
- How to cook it
- Live: bring a big pot of well-salted water to a full boil. Put the lobster in head first, cover, and start timing when the water boils again: 10 to 12 minutes for 1 1/4 lb, 12 to 14 minutes for 1 1/2 lb. It’s done when the shell is bright red and a small leg pulls off easily. With a thermometer: for tender meat, take it off the heat at 60 to 63 °C (140 to 145 °F) in the thickest part of the tail. Health Canada recommends 74 °C (165 °F) for shellfish. Cook to that if you’re serving anyone who is pregnant, 60 or over, 5 or under, or has a weakened immune system. Cooked: ready to eat cold. To serve it warm, steam it for 4 to 5 minutes. Cooked and cracked: ready to eat. Serve it with melted butter and lemon.
