Best way to cook it?
Cut it before or after it has boiled.

Anyone that suggests old bay ,,,,lost there man card….

After. Drop it in kicking and screaming

Cook it in boiling water by dropping in alive.Take out of water,take out of shell then dip in melted butter.YumYum

This right here.

Yup...drop in live and kicking...6-7 minutes..

Yep. Is there any other way?

Yup....baked and stuffed with more lobster...Ritz cracker crumbs

Boil it medium rare with 4 Tide Pods. Let me know what you think of it.

Salt hot water and time not complicated…

The guts were yummy…..

Did it have a gritty feel?

Easy ways to kill the lil critter before boiling ?

Lobsters are better steamed than boiled. If we are cooking a lot of lobsters we put a galvanized wash tub, with a few inches of water in it on bricks, over the coals of a pretty big fire. We put 3 bricks in the tub to hold up the grate of a grill, to set the lobsters on, just barely above the water. We then put a grill lid over the lobsters. They make a whistling sound when almost cooked enough and turn bright red. You can put seaweed over the lobsters, if you have it.

I like lobster best dipped in melted, salted butter. I don't add any flavorings. Fresh lobsters don't need anything but the butter.

Guess I will have to eat tanner crab, no lobster up here

Or dungeness

They call tanner crabs, snow crabs, here in Ohio. Many buffets have them, including almost all Chinese buffets. They leave the legs sitting in water at most the buffets and it washes out their flavor. I bet they are much better close to the source, like you are.

Ohio is not a good state for fresh seafood. I wish it was. I want to grow freshwater prawns here.

Stab it in the "spine" just behind the eyes. Keeps it from kicking water all over.

Thats one big crab

Everyone knows tide pods are best with beef,,, silly kids…..
