So my fiance and I were talking with his cousin and girlfriend about doing some lobsters at home. We are in MN, about as far from any ocean as you can get in the US. I've never cooked live lobster before, but it can't be that hard from the bit I've read so far.
So, for the complete lobster cooking newbie, what do I need, and where do I start? I know we'd need to have some live ones overnighted from Maine, and a big pot (how big?). What size lobsters are a good size? We don't have huge appetites. Any tips on how to store them, or other things from the New Englanders that I wouldn't know about? Is this a decent time of year for them; we'd probably try it sometime in the next month or so.
Thanks!
