fish shops are the best, but frozen also are good, for killing the lobster, simple, prepare a pot with hot water, than put inside, the beast..... than is done..

few minutes and is cooked... put also salt in the water... for take off the shield, start from the tail, open it with a knife , trough the head, than take out the meat, keep the arms to use for put in the sauce.. any sauce you will make..

Frying Lobster


Never thought of frying lobster? It can be done!
The first step in how to fry lobster is to get the meat out of the lobster before you cook it. You can kill your live lobster either by plunging a knife in its head (not on my list of things I like to do) or you can steam the lobster. But only steam it for a minute or two, the objective here is not to cook the lobster, just to prepare it to get the meat out.
The best way of preparing the tail meat is to cut lobster medallions out of them. Then crack the claws and cut the claw meat into chunks.
Once you have the lobster meat ready, warm the frying pan and melt about 2 Tbsp of butter in it. Add any seasonings you would like - perhaps garlic, or parsley. Fresh-snipped basil can be quite nice, too. Put the meat in the pan, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until the meat is opaque.

Any fish with the shell., well.. crab, prawns, lobsters, can be cooked in different ways, fry, also first just put few second in a very hot water, so , the meat will not boil just to kill the lobster if is alive , than fry it or grill it.. but remember for grill the lobster you must open the body, just cut the body from the tail, than put a sauce with lemon, chilli,garlic, salt and butter, on it, during the grilling... ist's easy, don't worry, you can make,. is the same ways you grill prawns..

The humane way to kill a lobster is to put it in the fridge for an hour and it will fall to sleep, then either plunge it into boiling water, or knife above the eyes as already said.

As for buying them, around here the local market is about the only place to get live lobsters.

yes m8 that sounds about right, never tried grilled but boiled is very nice.

Don't worry, grill that .. lobster and come back to tell us how good was...remember any type of fish or meat, once you grill it, only the flavour from the fire give an exceptional taste, plus the seasoning, make the food very special...so find that lobster and cook it.. and eat it..

The live one's don't half scream when you first drop them in boiling water there again so probably would we in the same situation.
Let us know how you cook it and what it was like along with the recipe, I quite like all shell fish as well as normal fish.

Was it still alive after its head had been cut off ?

I know cockroach have various reflex actions (like breathing) spread across their spine. You can cut of a cockroaches head and it can continue to survive and lay eggs for several hours.
