🦞 1820g+ North Atlantic Live Lobster

📘 Detailed Product Overview

We buy directly from North Atlantic wharfs and move lobsters within hours to temperature-controlled seawater systems (oxygenated, salinity-matched). This reduces stress and preserves sweet, delicate flavour with a firm, springy bite. Each lobster is hand-selected for vitality, shell quality, and meat fill, then packed alive in a ventilated, insulated kit designed for U.S. climates.

On Arrival (within 4h)

• Look for antenna/leg movement, firm abdominal curl, and a clean ocean smell (not sour).

Where to keep it

• Refrigerator 0–4 °C (32–39 °F) in a ventilated carton or tray, covered with damp paper towels/seaweed for moisture.

• Do not immerse in water (especially fresh water), do not seal in plastic, and do not place directly on bare ice.

• Best-by window: Cook within 24–36 hours of delivery for peak quality (vitality declines after 36–48h).

After cooking

• Cooked meat (refrigerated): best within 24 hours.

• Freeze leftovers: remove from shell, seal air-tight; hold at −18 °C/0 °F up to 1–2 months (slight flavour loss).

• Reheat gently: steam or pan ≤ 3–4 minutes until hot; avoid overcooking.

Food safety & allergens

• Use separate boards/knives for raw vs. cooked; sanitize surfaces immediately.

• Clearly label crustacean allergen when serving.

👨‍🍳 Chef-Recommended Recipes (for ~1820 g Live Lobster)

Doneness: meat turns opaque/pearly and juices appear milky. Probe at the thickest tail section ≥ 60 °C / 140 °F.

1. Classic Boil

• Pot: 6–8 L water + 2–3% sea salt (sea-like brine).

• Time: once water returns to a full boil, 17–20 minutes for 1820 g whole.

• Rest 5 minutes; serve with melted butter + lemon. Optional aromatics: bay, peppercorns, lemon zest.

2. Steam (tenderest)

• Setup: 3–5 cm water and a rack; strong steam.

• Time: 18–22 minutes whole.

• Finish with garlic butter or olive oil, sea salt, lemon.

3. Garlic Butter Bake

• Lightly chill the lobster (see humane notes) → split lengthwise.

• 220 °C / 425 °F for 12–15 minutes, cut side up, brushed with garlic butter + lemon zest + parsley.

• Finish with lemon juice & flaky salt.

4. Crispy Garlic & Chili Stir-Fry

• Cut into segments, crack shells, pat dry.

• Wok on high: sliced garlic + chilies + splash of soy + pinch of sugar, 3–4 minutes to glaze.

5. Lobster Congee

• Simmer rice to a silky porridge; add head/shells for 20 min to make stock.

• Fold in tail/knuckle/claw meat just to set; season with ginger, white pepper, scallions.

Humane handling (home safety)

• Brief cold-chill 10–20 min (fridge or short freezer) to calm, or cook whole (boil/steam) to avoid pre-cutting.

• If splitting, use a stable board and non-slip gloves; make a quick, decisive cut through the cephalothorax center.
