Details

Whether deep into a hot summer day or midway through a snowy winter, you can serve fresh lobster year-round with Boston Lobster Company 1.75 lb. live hard-shell lobsters. Lobsters are famously known as a delicacy, and these lobsters are no exception; Customers crave this rich, plump, and subtly sweet crustacean. These lobsters are caught in the natural salt waters of Cape Cod, Maine, and Canada, and are shipped live and refrigerated to your establishment for the freshest possible tasting lobster. From there, store them in your front-of-house lobster tank to entice your customers, or store them in a cool, dry place.

Cooking applications for lobsters are wonderfully versatile as lobsters cook well when boiled, broiled, steamed, and grilled. This creates a clean-tasting lobster with a firm and supple texture; these are the ideal characteristics of the protein you want to serve to your customers. Lobsters pair very well with hearty grains that have a definitive bite, such as rice, al dente pasta, or firm barley. Vegetables that enhance the richness from lobster meat vary quite a bit, being able to let the lobster stand out with asparagus, potatoes, green beans, broccoli, or fresh and crispy leafy greens. When selecting fresh herbs, lean more towards balancing varieties such as aromatic tarragon, bright parsley, and comforting thyme. Lobster also pairs excellently with dairy, such as creamy soup and sauces or herb-infused butter. Whatever you pair it with, hit the lobster with a squeeze of lemon to brighten up the subtly sweet and rich meat.

Adding lobster to your dish instantly enhances the overall flavor and appeal of any menu item. Lobster is traditionally known in East Coast-based seafood dishes such as lobster rolls, surf 'n turf, and New England clambake. Try lobster in cream-based dishes like mac n cheese, risotto, bisque, and even pot pies. Add lobster meat to crispy and crunchy leafy green salads for a bite of richness, and pair with a light oil vinaigrette, a dairy-based dressing, or with a classic caesar dressing to complement the anchovies. Or, simply showcase the beautiful lobster on its own, brushing it in a garlic, lemon, and parsley marinade and grilling or broiling, and serve the crustacean with a side of sauteed or roasted vegetables.

Since 1986, Neil Zarella has been in the lobster business, creating a company that's centered around the East Coast ideology of hard work and dedication to an honest day's labor.

All lobster showed up the next day in an airfreight styrofoam refrigeration box with gel ice packs and in great condition. They were lively, delicious, strong hard shells and were full meated, much better than what I can get at my local grocery store.
