Harvested
from cold coastal waters, Maine lobster has a distinctive
flavor that is both mild and slightly sweet. It makes an impressive
entree, delicious served in pasta dishes, salads, quiches,
bisques, soups, stews and sandwiches. Lobsters are low in
fat, calories and cholesterol and high in nutrition, they
can be baked, broiled, grilled, microwaved, sautéed
or steamed.

Hard
shell versus new shell; New shell lobsters have recently molted
(shed) in order to grow and the lobster has not yet grown
into its new shell. Lobsters increase in size about 20% every
time they molt. New shell lobster lovers claim the meat is
sweeter while hard shell lobster lovers feel theirs has more
meat. Actually, the lobster in the shell of a new shell lobster
is not smaller, it just hasn't grown into its new shell. Only
hard shell lobsters can be shipped live, they have a longer
life span out of the icy Maine waters.
