Going to Maine this summer, should I have the lobster boiled or steamed.?

Do lobster molt more than once per year?

I think you know the answer. I think we all know the answer…… but I’ll say it anyway.

Both.

And if you see it served any other way…… try that too

I always boil them.

When I order lobstah at a restaurant...they have Nevah asked me if I want it steamed or boiled..

They do have Baked lobster...but to me ..boiled is bettah

ttt

Grilled! :-)

I don't know about lobster, but I prefer crab and shrimp boiled in sea water.

Cut in 1/2 while still flopping and then…..

Splt the tails but don't fully cut through them, add butter and grill.

You have no choice but to eat them boiled. Because the oceans are boiling, and they are cooked when taken out of the lobster trap.

Grill both whole halves :-)

We expect a report back of the 20 ways you tried lobster on your trip to Maine.
Just watch that you dont eat any caught close to Canadian waters -or- you might start to speak french

HA HA HA!! In the 80's we were supposed to have an Ice Age!! Then we were supposed to eat everything Frozen.

I will be going to Maine the last week in June. I do not want to look like an outsider when I set down to eat a hole lobster. When you eat clam's what a steamers?

A mess...same for lobster. Wear a raincoat. I like steamers but prefer fried clams. They're both good.

Doubt you can really tell the difference if you don’t eat it often. Boiled crabs are juicy, and retain more of the flavor added to the boil. However, sometimes boiled are harder to pick, meat seems to stick to the shell if not cooked just right. When steamed, the meat comes out of the shell easily but you may have to add the seasoning you like afterwards ( dip in seasoning, butter, vinegar etc ). We went to Bar Harbor and ate lobster daily, love that stuff!

You mean boiled lobster, not crabs, right?

I thought Cajuns would eat anything, but y'all yanks got em' beat with those things. Lol.
