Tuesday's Cupful: Live Maine Lobster

Look for the claws


Yes, this is the supreme crustacean and most popular, too. Lobstermen harvest Maine Lobster or American Lobster from waters off the coast of New England up into Canada. We've seen how back-breaking the work can be from movies and television. This year, lobsters are plentiful. We found the shellfish selling for $5.49 a pound at the nearby Korean supermarket. Unbelievable! The shell goes from dark brown to deep red when cooked. Specimens can grow larger than 20 inches and can also weigh more than 40 lbs. A pair of largest claws in the crustacean family distinguishes this sea floor crawler from is relative -- the European Lobster or Common Lobster. The industry is regulated in the United States. Lobstermen must release small lobsters back into the ocean if it's not larger than 3 1/4 inches long. Select lobsters that are still lively and respond to stimuli. Tails should be straight (not curl under the lobster's body). Expect a healthy lobster to try to defend itself with its claws. Avoid live lobsters with limp claws and limbs. Maine Lobsters are available year-round.
