Content: But, living in Wisconsin, it is a bit trickier for us to get lobster these days. You can imagine how overjoyed I was when our local Fox Brothers Piggly Wiggly had a one-day lobster sale where they flew in fresh Maine lobster first thing in the morning. We placed our order and eagerly awaited the day. Now, Tim had never eaten more than lobster tail, and had no idea what to expect as we headed to the store to pick up our little guys. As our lobsters were loaded (protesting quite violently) into a brown paper bag, Tim looked a bit skeptical at what we were about to do. While we think of lobster as the food of high class steak and seafood restaurants, if you can believe it, prior to the 19th century they were considered the food of the poorer classes, servants, and prisoners. But, I guess if you’re living on the coast, it was all about what was easily accessible. Types of Lobster
As lobsters grow, they start to fill their shell. The shells don’t grow as the lobster grows, instead, they harden and a new, soft shell forms under the old. Once the shell is too small for the lobster, it will shed it’s shell and the inner shell will begin the hardening process.
