We had to thaw the lobsters before we ate them, which we didn't know until we took them out of the freezer. Because hot water can ruin the meat, we were supposed to thaw them under cold running water, or let them sit in the fridge for a day. We didn't have a day, so we decided to thaw them under water instead. It took two hours!
Those wily crustaceans turned out great! We had some wine with them, and it was all very classy.
We bought them from the grocery store from the frozen entree aisle, and they came in a box! They were a reasonable price too. Since we're in BC and not on the Atlantic coast, the box had illustrated directions on how to eat them. I wouldn't have known otherwise, and we followed the step-by-step instructions as we ate.
I bought a nut cracker on my way over to Carmella's, and it came with two picks. It turned out we definitely needed the picks and cracker. It's made for nuts, but worked really well for our lobsters and we wouldn't be able to eat them effectively without the picks.
It was really fun, and Carmella recently bought a couple more boxed lobsters when she was getting groceries. We won't need the directions this time hopefully, and we'll know that we need to devote significant time to thawing before we prepare them.
