lobster meat

A large marine crustacean whose meat is synonymous with luxury, offering an incredibly sweet, rich flavor and a firm, snappy texture. The tail provides dense, meaty portions, while the claws yield softer, more delicate meat that bathes perfectly in drawn butter. **Selection & Storage:** Live lobsters should be highly active and hold their tails tightly curled when picked up. Cook live lobsters the day you buy them; keep them in the refrigerator wrapped in damp newspaper, never in fresh water.
