Fresher the Better
The main thing to know about lobsters is – the fresher the better! Ideally you should pluck them straight from the ocean and have them on the table within the hour. Lobster lovers rejoice! If you crave juicy, sweet Maine lobster, but don’t want to go through handling live crustaceans, buy lobster tails from LobsterAnwhere. The frozen lobster tails are 100% natural – no additives – just pure lobster meat, which can be stored as fresh as the day it was caught – up to six months. But what lobster tails are the best?

Types of Lobster
For the most part there are two main types of lobster, cold water and warm water. First up is the warm water lobster, which is commonly caught off the coast of Asia, the Caribbean, Florida, California and the Mediterranean. Warm water lobsters have a fishier taste, often with a softer mushier texture, which means they are often difficult to handle. Cold water lobster is commonly caught off the coast of New Zealand, south Africa, Australia, and of course Maine. These lobsters are firmer sweeter and more succulent, with whiter meat. They are transported frozen to many warm water areas because you just can’t compete with the taste. Don’t compromise – always pick cold water Maine lobster. You’ll never be disappointed.

Order Lobster Tails
Frozen lobster tails can be bought in a variety of sizes, from the Jumbo, Extra-Jumbo all the up to our Colossal, which weighs in at about 16-20oz. There is no difference in quality, it all depends on what size party you intend to cook for, or how hungry for lobster you are.

How to Cook Lobster Tails
After taking your frozen lobster tails out of the freezer it is best to defrost them before getting started. This is done by placing them in a bowl of cold water in the fridge over night. For a simple boil cook, place them in boiling water – ensuring that the whole tail is covered – and then wait until the meat is bright white and shells turn red or orange. Crack open the lobster by piercing the underside with a sharp knife or crack with lobster-crackers. Then, gently pull apart the lobster. Alternatively you could crack the lobster first and then bake or grill the meat with butter and spices.

That Perfect Lobster Accompaniments
I feel I am rather a minimalist when it comes to my lobster – but no lobster is complete without a drawn butter sauce for dipping. Served warm there is no hassle to this recipe, merely melt the butter in a warm pan and pour into a dipping bowl. Alternatively, stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley for a lemon-butter. Or gently fry chopped garlic in butter for a garlic-butter. You can choose to strain the garlic away for a lighter taste or keep them mixed in – either way is delicious.

You don’t have to travel to Bar Harbor, Maine to enjoy fresh lobster or to Cape Cod, Massachusetts  to host a clambake. LobsterAnywhere brings the lobster party to you. Since 1999 it has been shipping live Maine lobsters, New England clam chowder, succulent lobster tails, across the country, along with easy cooking instructions that can transform anyone into an instant five-star chef.

Maine Lobster Tails
At Lobster Anywhere we only sell and ship Maine and Canadian lobster tails from the cold-waters of the North Atlantic ocean. Full of sweet, tender lobster meat, cold-water Maine lobster tails are the most coveted tails in the world. Cold water lobster is prized above all other species for its sweet, briny richness. Our tails are culled from only hard-shell lobsters–so you know you are getting your money’s worth. It is not enough to start with quality hard-shell lobsters, it also matters how the tails are processed. No additives are used, our lobster tails are first blast frozen then double glazed to lock in the lobster’s natural texture and sweet flavor. You’ll pay more for the Maine lobster tails, but you’ll see and taste the difference.

Rock Lobster Tails
Be on the lookout for imposters. Warm water tails will always be cheaper. They lack the quailty and superior taste of frozen lobster tails from Maine. You’ll find the warm-water tails at chain stores and the big catalog steak companies. Those big cruise lines also offer warm-water tails to their passengers to save money. Our customers tell us the tails  taste dried out  or rubbery. Spiny lobsters, also known as rock lobsters, are easily distinguished from Maine lobsters because it has no claws, has short spines along the length of the tail and body; and are marked by bright spots on its tail.  Spiny Lobsters that come from the southern waters and the western Atlantic, from Brazil, Belize, Columbia, Nicaragua and Honduras, are generally known as warm water lobsters. Spiny Lobster Tails are in fact the biggest food export of the Bahams! Spiny lobster tails caught off the coasts of South Africa, New Zealand and Australia are marketed as cold water lobster tails.

1. Eat Up!
Everybody likes a challenge. If you can polish off these two tails on your own, you’ll be well-prepared for your long winter’s nap, my friend. Be careful, though. Don’t hurt yourself. We aren’t kidding when we say “huge.”

2. Be Someone’s Best Friend.
Invite a friend over to watch the game. They’ll be expecting chips and dip, and you pull out lobster! Of course…you might be setting the bar a little high for future games, but you can cross that bridge when you get there (or you  can just order more! We’ve got plenty here).

3. Be the Hit of New Year’s Eve
Everybody brings something. Wait till they see you walk in with a massive bowl of lobster dip, or a tray of lobster rolls. Yours will be the first invitation they send out next year, for sure.

4. Be Generous
As they sat, ’tis better to give, than to receive. Especially when you still have one back at the house.

5. Find That Special Someone
Invite someone you’d like to be that special someone over for dinner. Surprise them with a slightly scaled back version of the dinner for two we already described (you don’t want to scare them off). Make it a first date they’ll never forget.

Sure, as with the friend on game day, you might be setting the bar a little high…but come one, this is love! Isn’t it worth it?

These are just a few suggestions. Of course, you can’t win if you don’t enter the contest!
