Whole Live Local Spiny Lobster 1lb-1.5lb

TASTE & FLAVOR:  It's sweet flavor and firm meat make it a local San Diego favorite. You can never go wrong with cooking spiny lobsters whether you want to bake, boil, steam, grill or smoke them. Just make sure to add your favorite herbs & spices and don't forget the butter...

PREPARATION: Refrigerate lobsters immediately, and keep them cold until you’re ready to cook them (best around 40 degrees F). The colder the lobster is, the more sluggish it will become and the less it will move around. Don’t put them in your freezer unless you plan on freezing them for another day. Keep lobsters moist with wet newspaper or wet towel in a paper bag or lobster pot they need to breath, or they will die. A dry lobster is an unhappy lobster. It’s best to cook lobsters the day they’re delivered or within 24hours.
