That is very reassuring..
I don't lobster enough to put it on a roll...
Simple is best. Steamed or boiled and served with melted butter.

This reminds me of a commercial I saw recently that annoyed me where they said the reason poeple eat lobsters is just as a vehicle for melted butter.

Lobster.... on a bun? Lobster? On a bun? With Mayo?
Why would anyone do that to a lobster? I am mixed on even having melted butter with it....
On a bun? My mind boggles....
Here's one to add to the pile...
It is my understanding that lobsters were originally considered to be garbage food and were served to the servants. They were also commonly way over 5 lbs.
You could pretty much say that about Escargot and/or perriwinkles! Unless they are really fresh and really tender, it is pretty much just for the garlic butter!
We just had Maine lobster tails last night. They were on sale, 5oz. tails for $5 each.
They were surprisingly tasty even though they were frozen. Just a quick few minutes in a bamboo steamer, and they were ready for eating (with a swipe through melted butter).

I'm glad I forgot what it was for, otherwise it would be on my list of places to avoid.
Bucky, The size called "Chicken", 1 to 1-1/4#, are often on sale (live) for $6.99 # here at Penn Dutch. I buy several, steam them till just under done, and vacuum seal the tail, knuckle and claw meat then deep freeze for future use.
Craig, have you had Caribbean spiny lobster? I actually like them better than Main Lobster. They should be readily available in Florida.

Well Addie, I'm tellin' yuh, these suckers must have been close to moulting. Those shells were humongous thick. I've seen my fair share and these were ... thick!
Buying the 5 ounce tail for $5 actually isn't a bad deal. A couple years ago, when we had an early sustained hot spell and summer came early, I remember Market Basket having lobsters for $3.99 a pound. We don't have them often because they're work. And $3.99 a pound isn't that great of a deal when you figure how much meat you get and how much time you spend getting it. I bought three lobsters at that price for a total of 4# - or $16. I don't remember exactly how much it ended up weighing, but I do remember that when you figured it all out it would have valued at $25...which is exactly what they were selling fresh shelled lobster meat for in the seafood case. All that time and no real savings....How large would you say the tails were on the chickens you buy?
