Choosing To Have Your Live Lobster Shipped Can Bring About Some Challenges

By Patricia Barnes


True seafood connoisseurs are well accustomed with understanding how to treat the gifts of the sea. When it comes to live lobster shipped directly from the Indian Ocean, there are quite a few reasons for its popularity. This lobster is known for its particularly exotic flavor thanks to the particularly warm sea currents that somehow affect the meat. This meat is a particular favorite of vacation goers at any seaside destination.

When initially caught a barnacle must be carefully handled to ensure that its meat does not toughen. The meat is best kept when the creatures are hand caught and then immediately placed in water of the same temperature. Barnacles that have been caught in nets generally end up being much tougher as a result of the trauma experienced during the catching process.

Much of the sea creatures that can be bought have been shipped frozen and in bulk. This is a terrible travesty as you will still pay the same price for frozen sea food unknowingly when eating in a restaurant. Ideally they should be transported in temperature regulated water and in tanks that are not too crowded as this too will affect the animal's stress levels.

The temperature of the water that the sea creature is transported and kept in prior to serving is also very important. The water temperature will have to be regulated to be kept as close to their usual temperature as possible. Many fishing trawlers that transport the barnacles that you can buy do not have the equipment needed to do so which will affect the quality of the meat.

The best way to ensure this is to personally choose the creature of your choice from the aquarium on display in the restaurant. Avoid buying barnacle that is too large as these are often older ones whose meat is not as tender. The more red the sea creature is, the better it is likely to taste too. A red bright one is often a sign of good blood flow which equates to very tender meat.

The meat will taste best when captured very carefully to ensure that they still remain calm. On nights where many people are ordering seafood, the lobsters are likely to become tense. It is advisable not to eat them on a busy night.

The only way to cook lobster is to slowly bring them to the boil in a fairly large pot. Small pots will make the animal feel threatened and cause them to secrete adrenaline. If more than one is boiled in the same pot, regardless of how large, you are likely to have the same affect. Specify how you would like yours to be cooked to ensure that the chef doesn't use time saving shortcuts. This is another reason why it is better to eat seafood on quiet evening.

Live lobster that gets supplied directly from the Indian Ocean is a true delicacy that everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. If you are on vacation and want to try this mouth watering meal as the locals where the best seafood restaurant is. A good restaurant with a good reputation is likely to be your best bet for getting the finest quality lobster.
