Deciding To Have Live Lobster Shipped Should Not Be Done Lightly

By Patricia Barnes


When traveling to seaside destinations many people love to enjoy visiting seafood restaurants. While some are quite happy to eat cheaper fish, others will take the opportunity to spoil themselves by eating delicacies such as live lobster shipped directly from the Indian Ocean.

The best tasting barnacle is said to have been caught by hand and immediately placed in water from their natural environment. If caught by fishing trawlers they usually become very stressed while being netted which will ultimately affect the taste of their meat. A barnacle that has been left un- frightened is the best for cooking as trauma affects their hormone levels which will ultimately affect the quality of the meat.

They should be transported in water with a regulated temperature to help keep the animal happy in its environment. It is also important not to place too many of them in confined spaces as the cramped environment may result in fighting which will cause the meat to become tough. Many sea creatures are not transported under these conditions in order to save on costs despite the fact that you are still paying top price for this meal.

The temperature of the water that the sea creature is transported and kept in prior to serving is also very important. The water temperature will have to be regulated to be kept as close to their usual temperature as possible. Many fishing trawlers that transport the barnacles that you can buy do not have the equipment needed to do so which will affect the quality of the meat.

Most good seafood restaurants will have them in an aquarium that is on display for you to choose from. This is the best way to ensure the quality of your food. Don't be too impressed by the fish that is larger than the rest, these ones are usually older and their meat is not as tasty. A medium sized hot red barnacle is the best bet for the tastiest seafood experience possible.

If the animal is frightened during the catching process it will once again release a lot of adrenaline and now particularly just prior to being cooked, resulting in tough meat. Try to order yours before any other patrons as the catching of the one that is cooked prior to yours is also likely to frighten the other sea creatures. If the aquarium has too many barnacles they may become aggressive with each other which yet again equates to tough meat.

These creatures must be cooked while fully calm. It is best if they are cooked in their original water and brought to the boil from a very low temperature. The creature will not notice that it is being cooked alive as it is a cold blooded animal and will nor feel the water temperature rising. Beware that some restaurants prefer to kill them beforehand to speed up cooking time, insist that yours is not killed before cooking.

Your best bet for the most divine seafood is definitely to order live shipped lobster. Because of the high costs involved you must make sure that you do your homework before simply ordering lobster at just any restaurant. Look for a restaurant with the best reviews to make sure that you are eating lobster that is prepared the right way.
