Content: There are a whole set of things to look for when you are buying whole, live lobsters, but let’s focus in on the tail here. As with whole lobster, much depends on when in the molting phase the lobster was when caught. In short, the harder the shell the better. This means the lobster has fully filled out its shell, and you will get a larger amount of tender, sweet, firm meat. Buying Lobster Tail
Make sure you are buying cold water lobster tail (unless you have the intention of doing otherwise). This is the kind of quintessential lobster most of us think of when we think of a traditional shore dinner, with its sweet, clean taste, and dense texture. Most of these lobsters in this country come from Maine (which boasts a lobster on its license plate). Warm water lobster usually doesn’t get as firm when cooked, and the texture can be a bit grainy. Buy from a reputable source. Either go to a quality fish store, or buy from a place that sells lots of lobster tails with high turnover, like a price club.
