How to Buy Fresh Lobster

Content: The most popular lobsters in the United States are Maine lobsters, which are known for their sweet meat and taste great in lobster recipes. Although available year-round, lobsters tend to be less expensive in spring and summer months. Live lobsters have a mottled appearance with a greenish-blue-brown cast. Buy lobsters the day you plan to fix them, and store them in seawater or wrapped in a wet cloth over ice in the refrigerator until cooking time. If you're heading to the fish market and wondering what size lobster to get, plan on one 1- to 1½-pound lobster per person. This will yield about 4 to 6 ounces of meat per serving. Have leftovers? Turn that delicious meat into lobster rolls by stirring it together with a little mayo, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
