Live or Partially
Cooked Lobsters
Lobsters can be bought either live or partially cooked.
What are partially cooked lobsters?
Prior to shipping, the lobsters are cooked for about
six minutes, then chilled and packed to travel. When you receive your
lobsters you can keep them for up to two days before finishing the cooking
process by cooking them for a further seven to ten minutes, depending on
their size.
Why we recommend buying partially cooked lobsters
The taste of partially cooked lobsters is virtually indistinguishable from
lobsters you would cook yourself live. We recommend buying partially cooked
lobsters because of the convenience of being able to keep them for a couple
of days prior to re-cooking and serving. They are also cheaper to ship
because they can be sent via 2nd Day Air while Live lobsters must be sent
via Next day Air.
Heating your
partially cooked lobsters
You may keep your partially cooked lobster
refrigerated for up to three days. When ready to serve, simply place your
lobsters in a pot of rapidly boiling water. Make sure there is enough
water so that the lobsters float. When the water returns to a boil, give
them five minutes, and prepare for a feast of unequaled proportions
