I reported 2 weeks ago that there were imported Canadian lobsters here for buying and that they were in the frozen seafood sections at both Villa Market and Foodland. Here is the update....
Last week when I was in Villa Market they were about 900 baht per lobster and Foodland has them at about 400 baht per lobster, quite a difference in price I would say. :lol:
Now the great thing about these lobsters which are identical in taste to Maine Lobsters is that they are tender and small and already steam cooked! Because they are small, the shell is relatively easy to remove. My suggestions are as follows:
Take the meat from the tail, claws and arms and don't screw with whatever minute amount may be inside the body. Too much work! Anyway because they are already steamed all you have to do is let it thaw in your refrigerator or on the counter for a few hours then remove the shell the shell and just ever so slightly steam or nuke for like 1 1/2 minutes. You definitely do not want to over cook and they are cooked already.
Melt butter and enjoy home!
PS They have been restocking very regularly so I don't think we need to worry about supply. :ura1:
Actually Dumbo, Lobsters come from the sea and so they are known as Atlantic Lobsters, not Canadian Lobsters
