Are you considering buying Fresh Lobster?

Well, the first thing to consider is what kind of lobster you want. There are about 30 species of lobsters with claws and 45 species without. The clawed Lobsters are the most sought after in the USA/Canada.

Lobsters are many different colors. Most of the time they are a black or green color and very rarely royal blue and they just found a yellow and orange lobster.

When you can pick up the lobster, make sure the tail curls immediately and tucks itself under the body. This means that the lobster is a healthy one. Check the lobster and make sure it is not missing any legs or claws and that the pinchers are covered with elastics.

You the size of the lobster and a bigger lobster does not mean better when it comes to lobster meat. Lobsters with the tenderest meat usually weigh two pounds or less and are considered a single serving.

Fresh Lobster and Omega 3's

Fresh Lobster is a great way to add some healthy alternative food choices to your diet. Seafood is very low in fat and high in protein and the fats that are present are primarily the Omega's which are good fats to ingest.

Nutrition studies show that 3 1/2 ounces of lobster meat (no butter) contains only 90 calories. Compare that to163 calories for chicken and 280 calories for sirloin steak.

Lobster also contains omega-3 fatty acids, the "good " cholesterol that seems to reduce hardening of the arteries and decrease the risk of heart attacks. Lobster does not contain as much Omega-3 fatty acids as salmon or other fatty fishes, but it is a good source nonetheless.

In summary, lobster is high in protein, is a beneficial source of Omega-3 fatty acids and extremely low in fat, which are healthy for your heart.

Lobsters themselves have a very healthy diet such as: fish, crabs, clams and mussels. They are not manipulated by scientists or man. They are very natural.

Fresh Yellow Lobster

This Lobster is Not going to see the Boiling Pot

This yellow lobster was caught and its rare genetic mutation produces yellow lobsters at a rate of about 1 in 30 million. Wow, what are the odds of that?

The restaruant owner says the yellow lobster, which is now known as "Fiona" is safe at his eatery and that he'll keep it on display rather than cook it.
