Provisioning lobster
Let’s talk about sourcing options. If you’re in the New England area (and some other coastal areas of the United States), it’s relatively easy to find lobster near you. You can pick them up at many local grocery stores and fish markets.
If you live in a landlocked state, having them shipped is a great option. I recommend Luke’s lobster, Island Creek OystersOR Red is best. Lobster is expensive, so make sure you order delivery from a reputable source!
Now let’s talk about size. Although larger lobsters offer more meat, they can be less tender. I find that the smaller varieties, 1.25 to 1.5 pounds, strike a perfect balance. They are easier to handle and cook, ensuring a delicious lobster dish every time.
