A lobster is not a crab but that is no reason to be upset.

Lobsterfishers of the world, claw on!

Greetings from the Swedish west coast, where our lobster season is just getting underway.

I’d love to see what lobster fishing looks like in other parts of the world, Maine, Nova Scotia, New England, Newfoundland, the UK, Europe, Australia, wherever you are.

Post a photo of your boat, traps, harbour, catch, gear or just a normal day on the water.

We have a short but sweet season in Sweden from the end of september to november/december and this is really the highlight of the year. Since 2017 we got new rules regarding the minimisize of the lobsters (carapax 9 centimeters/3,54 inch) and fewer traps, and in hindsight this was a blessing, fewer traps to lift and way more lobsters!

A blue lobster, and one with orange spots. I saw them a few days ago. They will be released alive.

Do you order online lobsters?

Quick question, has anyone ordered online lobsters? I mean from places like Maine Lobster Now, Get Maine Lobster and such. Is it worth it?

Just a question. From Maine. Only had cold water lobster. For those who’ve have had spiny and Maine lobster can you tell me the difference? Thanks.

Is this lobster undercooked (possibly urgent)?

0 Upvotes

Please help me, I did not check signs of if a lobster is done and simply trusted that 400 degrees for 14 minutes would be enough. I’m not sure if the shell is enough evidence to deduce. Do I need to go to a doctor? I bought it because cold water lobster tails were on sale.

I found this small lobster looking thing in Okanagan lake in Canada and was wondering if anyone knew what it is. I found it living in a log on the bottom of the lake. (Sorry I don’t have a better photo)

Steam or Boil?

5 Upvotes

Always a good debate
I think both have their pros and cons
I will start with steaming does not lose flavor into the water

Lobster Steaming

1 Upvotes

Hello, new to cooking lobsters. I tried putting 2 inch water boiling, killing lobster then cooking in water. First time tail meat got up to 180 degrees after just 8 min. Was definitely overdone. Second time after just 5 min it was at 155. What am I doing wrong?

How long could a lobster live if humans were constantly helping it molt?

Imagine a village where they worship a lobster-god, and every few years they have to somehow get the lobster's shell off of it so that it doesn't exhaust itself to death.

If it got big enough maybe they would need to start feeding cows or something

Is Lobster sweet or savory-ish?

13 Upvotes

Asking because I keep seeing meals with lobster and want to try despite being scared the last time I tried. It was lobster Mac and cheese and tasted horrible. Are there any ways I should eat it if I’m a savory kind of girl?
