Hand-picked fresh lobster meat is always a good idea! Each pound of lobster meat contains the meat of five to six lobsters! We catch the lobsters, steam them, hand-pick the meat, then chill it and pack it on ice! Meat is shipped in thick insulated boxes overnight to arrive fresh fresh fresh! Enjoy the treat of a lobster feast while saving on the cost of shipping bulky live lobsters!

Lobster Meat

Serving / Dipping Sauce

Optional Accompaniments

Method

Lobster Meat

1

If lobster meat arrived chilled on ice, keep it refrigerated until ready to serve and drain any excess liquid; pat meat gently with paper towels to remove surface moisture. Keep in the shell-sized pieces (claw, knuckle, tail chunks) for best texture.

2

If you received whole cooked lobster and need to pick meat: crack shells with nutcracker, extract meat from claws, knuckles and tail, then chill meat completely before serving.

Serving / Dipping Sauce

3

Clarified Butter (for dipping)

Melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and foamy. Skim foam and pour slowly, leaving milky solids behind, into a small serving container. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and season with 1/4 tsp sea salt and a pinch of black pepper. Keep warm.

4

Lemon Butter Sauce (quick)

In a small saucepan melt 3 tbs unsalted butter over low heat. Add 1 tbs fresh lemon juice, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Serve warm alongside lobster meat with lemon wedges.

5

Arrange lemon wedges on a plate. Place warm butter sauce in small bowls for dipping.

Optional Accompaniments

6

Simple Lobster Roll

Toss 1/2 cup mayonnaise with 1/4 cup finely chopped celery, 1 tbsp chopped chives or tarragon, 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper. Fold in 1 lb chilled lobster meat gently, keeping pieces chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning.

7

Lightly butter and toast 4 rolls or slices of crusty bread until golden. Fill rolls with lobster mixture and serve immediately with lemon wedges and warm butter on the side.

8

If serving simply: pile lobster meat on a chilled platter over ice, sprinkle with a little sea salt and cracked pepper, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges and warm clarified butter.
