Lobster is a luxurious, lean shellfish prized for its sweet, delicate flavor and tender meat. Despite its indulgent reputation, it's actually low in fat and calories.
Lobster contains 145mg cholesterol per 100g, which is moderate. However, current research shows dietary cholesterol has less impact on blood cholesterol than previously thought, and lobster is very low in saturated fat.
Placing the lobster in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before cooking slows its metabolism. Alternatively, splitting the head quickly with a sharp knife is considered instantaneous.
Lobster is labor-intensive to catch (individual traps), has a low survival rate in captivity, and demand exceeds supply. Lobster also spoils quickly and requires live shipping.
Live lobster should be cooked the same day purchased. Cooked lobster keeps 2-3 days refrigerated. Frozen lobster tails last up to 6 months.
