1 Just how to cook a lobster in the most humane manner has been a concern of guilt ridden chefs for many generations. In order to put the matter to a rest scientifically, one researcher instructed his graduate students to boil lobsters after having subjected them to various relaxation techniques.
A. The students determined which method of dispatching them was the kindest by counting the number of tails flicks heard in the kettle before each lobster succumbed to the boiling water and ultimate death.
B. They tried hypnotizing the subjects by rubbing their backs until they stood on their heads, soaking them in fresh water, heating them slowly from room temperature to boiling, and other accepted strategies. But nothing really worked.
C. They found that putting them in the fridge before cooking to numb them up, might be the answer as happens naturally in winter, this resulted in the lowest number of tail twitches. So, according to modern science, a few minutes in the freezer means less agony in the kettle.
D. The most common way to cook lobster before eating is to steam or boil them in sea water or salted water for 10-15 minutes.
2 What’s the green stuff?
A. It is the lobster’s liver or more accurately, its digestive system. Although many people like to eat the this tomalley it probably is not a good idea because this is where pollution in the lobster’s own meal choices would become concentrated in the lobster’s body.
3 What is the red stuff?
A. It is the roe, the unfertilized eggs of the female. Lobster eggs were once considered a delicacy, like caviar. The roe is also called coral because of its bright red color.
4 What is the nutritional value of lobster?
A. Nutrition studies show that 3 1/2 ounces of lobster meat (without the butter) contains only 90 calories, compared to 163 calories for the same amount of 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.
B. So it’s pretty easy to see that eating lobster is an excellent healthy choice. Seafood in general is a good way to reduce heart attack risk, improved brain function, and over all weight balance and good health.
