Put on your bib and get cracking, cause we’re about to give you the ultimate guide to lobster eating!
The History of Lobster
The history of lobster and how it started is quite different then expected with it being some of the top seafood people have nowadays. While lobster is considered a delicacy now, it was once regarded as a “poor man’s food.” When European settlers first arrived in the United States, piles of lobster washed ashore, which were roughly two feet high. Because of their abundance, lobsters were routinely fed to prisoners, apprentices, slaves and children during the colonial era. Some servants even went so far as to avoid lobster consumption altogether, as there were certain contracts that allowed the shellfish to only be served twice a week. It wasn’t until the 1880’s that lobsters became mainstream, with the first lobster farm being established in 1876, in Vinalhaven, Maine.
Now lobsters are eaten all over the world as one of the most delicious seafoods to have. They are served at almost every seafood restaurant and if you can get it next to the coast that is even the best to have and indulge in the freshest lobster around.
How To Eat Lobster
Eating lobster is an event in and of itself! Begin by separating the tale from the body, pulling and twisting, and then splitting the tale into halves by pulling it apart. After attacking the tail, twist off the arms, and crack the area in the center, which will allow you to create an opening where you can pull the meat out of. You can also choose to devour the center of the lobster, by splitting it down the middle, and continue finding little areas of meat
