"Your incredible lobsters were the undisputed highlight of our annual
beach trip. Everyone raved that they had never seen lobsters that big
before, nor had tasted anything like them. Prompt delivery, great
presentation, great meal!
"
--Ernie Williams,
Coastal Living magazine, Cooking Light Magazine
"We were extraordinarily pleased with our first order of lobsters and clams. The lobsters were exquisitely succulent and delectable... even exceeded my uncommonly high expectations. The clams were sweet and
flavorful. We look forward to many, many more orders in the future."
Very truly yours,
--Ting Peterson, Washington DC
"We had to write to let you know how much we enjoyed our live Maine
lobster. My wife, originally from Rhode Island and a former Bostonian,
loves lobster and she can't stop talking about it. Our package included
a 5-lb. live Maine lobster, New England clam chowder, lobster bisque,
and a 4-piece box of chocolate truffles. The lobster was incredible - huge beyond belief. Its meat was succulent, tender and sweet. We had
always heard that lobsters over 2 lbs. were tough, but that's just not
true."

We have included some longtime favorite lobster recipes and
classic creations for steamers, clam chowder, swordfish, mussels,
scallops, and shrimp. These recipes are not only quick and
easy to prepare but can be enjoyed in the backyard, on your
waterside deck or in a formal dining setting. Enjoy!
This lobster recipe provides detailed cooking instructions.
One of the most common mistakes people make when cooking lobster
is that they overcook it. Serve with a nice California Chardonnay.
 Ingredients
2 Lobsters 1 1/4 LB or 1 1/2 LB
Bayleaf 1 leaf
Salt 1tsp
Fresh Lemon Juice 1 TBS
Water
Butter 1-2 sticks
Lemon Wedges
Large pot
Method
1. Fill the pot with one-half to two thirds full of water,
enough to cover the lobsters. Add salt, bay leaf, and lemon
juice. Cover and bring to a full boil.
2. Melt butter in separate saucepan or in the microwave and
set aside.
3. Grasp the lobster firmly from the middle of the back ;
place lobsters headfirst into boiling water. (For safety reasons,
leave the bands or pegs on their claws on.)
4. Cover the pot and bring back to a boil and regulate the
heat to prevent water from boiling over. Cook for no more
than 12-15 minutes or the meat will become tough.
5. Plunge cooked lobsters into cold water for 1 minute to
stop cooking process. When the antennae pull out easily and
the lobsters are bright red, they are done.
6. Serve with the butter and lemon wedges.

Stuffing Lobster
1. Cut lobster lengthwise but don't cut all the way through.
Remove intestine, (orange material). The lobster is normally
still alive at this point. If you choose to you can place the
lobster in fresh water for 15 minutes. This will humanly kill
the lobster and then you can begin to cut it in half.

with melted butter. Bake on a cookie sheet in the oven at 350
degrees until the lobster turns red and stuffing is golden brown.
