How big is a lobster's brain? Top of page
Dave Dow, former Director of the Lobster Institute, claims a lobster has a brain the size of a grasshopper's. The lobster brain is primarily just a collection of ganglia, or nerve endings.
It's evident from the lobster brain's lack of complexity that a lobster does not do much deep thinking, adding support to lobstermen's claims that lobsters probably do not feel pain, certainly not in the way humans do.
How do you hypnotize a lobster? Top of page
To hypnotize a lobster, stand it on its head with its claws laid out in front of it and its tail curled inward. Rub your hand up and down the carapace making sure to rub between the eyes. Eventually it may stand by itself. (Whoever thought of this must have been really starved for excitement.)

When a lobster outgrows its shell, it molts and discards or "sheds" the old shell. It then has a soft shell and is called a "shedder." As the lobster feeds, its shell hardens, and it adds meat to its body. Soft-shell lobsters have less meat than hard-shell lobsters. It should also be noted that hard-shell lobsters will survive a lot longer in refrigerated conditions and are therefore a far superior lobster to ship live. Is it okay to eat a soft-shell lobster? Top of page
Yes. Most people prefer soft-shell lobsters because they say the meat is a little sweeter and they don't need any tools to crack them apart. We only ship soft-shell lobsters pre-cooked because they do not survive the shipping process as well as hard-shell lobsters. However when they are reheated they are just as delicious Also, because they do not need to be shipped overnight they are considerably less expensive.
