Question:	How many lobster tails you get
Answer:	The Canadian and U.S. sardine canning industry is based on the juvenile North Atlantic herring. The North Atlantic herring is a small saltwater fish that is also known by its scientific name Clupea harengus.These fish travel in huge schools and live in the cold waters of the open ocean ranging fromGreenland to North Carolina. North Atlantic herring can reach a size of about 40 cm (17 inches) in length, weigh as much as 0.7 kg (1.5 lbs), and can live as long as 20 years. Herring feed principally on plankton and are found in shallow inshore waters to offshore waters as deep as 200 meters. Herring schools are always in motion and migrate between spawning grounds, feeding grounds, and deep-water wintering areas.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where can you ship to
Answer:	Each item is individually portioned and packaged according to the specific needs for that product. The Clam Chowder is in an air tight 'boil bag' which is also what it is prepared within once it arrives, and the Filet Mignon are stored in vacuum sealed bags to ensure freshness and easy defrosting options. The Lobster Tails are processed in potions of two tails and will typically arrive in one bag, similarly the Whoopie Pies are in sealed bags but portioned individually. Hope this helps!

GML (Get Maine Lobster) knows that traceability and sustainability are important to preserving Maine lobster. By protecting the Maine lobster resource today, we ensure that future generations can enjoy its delicious flavor. Rest assured that our Maine lobster is of the highest quality, from a well-managed, sustainable fishery.

Additionally, the Maine lobster industry is a well-managed fishery—ensuring that both the Maine lobster resource and the coastal marine environment are protected. You can count on us to support all efforts and organizations committed to preserving the sustainability of Maine lobster.

Many regulations have been put in place. The Maine Lobster Council ensures the health of the lobster resource, including:

• Tail Notching: Female lobsters with visible eggs cannot be harvested. Before releasing a female lobster, the harvester notches its tail to identify it as a good breeder, thus protecting it from being harvested.
• Minimum Size Limit: Size requirements for harvesting enable juvenile lobsters the chance to mature and reproduce before they’re harvested.
• Maximum Size Limit: Maximum size limits protect the stock of large, healthy breeding lobsters.
• Apprentice Program: New harvesters apprentice with veterans to learn sustainable harvesting practices.
• Trap Limits: Individual harvesters are limited to a certain number of traps by state and local regulations.
• Harvest Method: Lobster harvesting in Maine is performed by trap only—no diving or dragging of the ocean floor is allowed. Traps include escape vents for juvenile lobsters and biodegradable escape hatches to free lobsters in lost traps.
• Lobster Seed Fund: Supported by licensing fees, the fund purchases females that extrude their eggs after being harvested. This buy-back program helps ensure that good breeding lobsters are returned to the ocean to reproduce.

How to Freeze Maine Lobster

Properly prepared, Maine lobster will keep frozen for 9-12 months. Here are instructions for freezing Maine lobster.

1. Lobsters should be chilled and live.
2. Blanch lobsters in rapidly boiling salted water for 60 seconds. Use 1 tbsp of salt for every liter/quart of water.
3. Chill blanched lobster in an ice water bath.
4. Following a 15-20 minute chill, pat the lobster dry to remove excess water.
5. Place lobster in freezer or vacuum bags, removing as much air as possible (Ziploc vacuum bag systems available at supermarkets work well.)
6. If not using vacuum bags, place in a second freezer bag or wrap with freezer wrap.
7. Freeze at -18 C◦ (0 F◦), which standard for home freezers. If possible, freeze at a lower temperature to maintain the quality of the meat.
8. Thawing directions: Frozen lobsters should be thawed overnight in the refrigerator.
9. Thawed lobsters should be boiled in salted water 12-15 minutes, until cooked.

How To Crack a Lobster

1. Twist off the claws.
2. Crack each claw and knuckle with a lobster or nut cracker (although you can also do this by hand). Remove the meat with that tiny fork or with your fingers.
3. Separate the tail from the body and break off the tail flippers. Extract the meat from each flipper.
4. Insert a fork and push the tail meat out in one piece. Remove and discard the black vein that runs the entire length of the tail meat.
5. Separate the shell of the body from the underside by pulling them apart. Discard the green substance called the tomalley.
6. Open the underside of the body by cracking it apart in the middle, with the small walking legs on either side. Extract the meat from the leg joints and the legs themselves by biting down on the leg and squeezing the meat out with your teeth.
7. Wash those briny hands, enjoy the feeling of pride… and get another lobster. You deserve it.

Award Winning Lobster Tips & Tricks

1.Boil Bold not Bland

When you boil lobster you do not want your water to be just…well….water. First, make the water as salty as the sea the lobster came out of. This is a method of seasoning that will bring out the natural brininess of lobster. Secondly, make your water essentially a flavorful tea by adding in fennel seeds, white peppercorns, celery salt, smashed garlic cloves and/or fresh herbs. The flavor of your water will be subtly absorbed by the lobster meat as it cooks.

2. Eat with your Eyes

Granted there is nothing wrong with a perfectly cooked whole lobster on a plate but a little extra color can help not only visually but flavorwise as well. When creating your work of culinary artistry make sure to add in greens. Be it basil oil, chopped fresh herbs or avocado. The best fresh herbs to pair with lobster are dill, tarragon, parsley, and chives.

3. Spice things up a bit

Sweet and heat go together like a “Mainer” and Lobster. Lobster is naturally sweet in flavor and it is always a sound culinary move to contrast the sweetness with a little spice. Cayenne pepper or smoked paprika used sparingly will elevate any lobster dish. Do not go overboard, you want it to be lobster with a hint of spice rather than spice with a hint of lobster.

4. Get Saucy

Lobster and melted butter go together as well as peanut butter and jelly. One thing you can do though is make your butter even better. When melting the butter add in a little fresh lemon juice, dash of cayenne pepper, minced garlic and freshly chopped dill. You will find yourself strangely wondering if you even need lobster to be enjoying the butter. Hint, you do, you do not want to be eating straight butter no matter how delicious it is.

How To Cook Lobster Tails at Home

Baking

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Using a sharp, heavy chef’s knife, allow the lobster meat to sit on top of its shell by cutting all but a small amount of the meat out of the shell, lifting it up, and placing it on top. Be careful not to cut the shell the entire length. To do this, leave the tail flap and one inch above the shell intact.
• Separate all of the meat from the shell, except for the intact area at the tail
• Close the shell under the meat, allowing the meat to rest on top of it
• Season the tail any way you like it. You can use butter or olive oil, or even lemon and dill
• Cook the lobster tails 1 ½ minutes for every ounce of meat. This converts to eight ounces for 12 minutes, 10 ounces for 15 minutes, and 12 ounces for 18 minutes at 375 degrees

Grilling

• Set the grill to medium heat. If using charcoal, scatter the coals to create one area of intense heat and one cooler area
• Brush the lobster tails with olive oil or butter. You can also season with your favorite flavorings, such as lemon, minced garlic, salt, pepper, etc.
• First, with the meat side down, grill for three to five minutes. Flip tail over for another three to five minutes, being sure to remove the tail from any open flames to prevent burning. The lobster tails are done when the meat becomes opaque, or eat plain!

Boiling

• Use six to eight cups of salted boiling water for every four lobster tails
• Place lobster tails into boiling water and turn temperature down to a simmer
• Cook one minute for every one ounce of lobster meat. So, if you have four 10-ounce lobster tails in the pot, cook for 10 minutes

User questions & answers

Question:

Can one specify the sex of the lobsters such as one mail and one female

Answer:

Hey thanks for the question. Two factors go into the increase in price you are referencing. The first is the $12/lb being the price for a live lobster and to yield the 2 pounds of cooked meat you would need 8-10 of those live lobsters at the price you are referencing. Here in Maine we are lucky enough to have local Live Lobster prices of closer to $7-$8/lb and the increase in price for you on that product is due to the perishable nature of seafood and the necessity for overnight shipping, which can be costly. Hope this helped!

Answer:	There are a lot of ways to reheat lobster you can steam it for just a few minutes, saute it in melted butter but lobster is also great cold in a salad or lobster roll . lobster mac and cheese and lobster pizza
Question:	How does it arrive in dry ice/ice pack in case not home on arrival and not freezing out

Baked Lobster Tails

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 oz lobster tail, 2 tails
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 wedges lemon, to serve
• broccoli, cooked, to serve

DIRECTIONS:

1. cut along the middle of the top of the shell towards the fins of the tail, making sure to cut in a straight line. Do not cut through the end of the tail.
2. Using a spoon, separate the meat from the two sides of the shell, then lift the meat up and out from inside the shell.
3. Press the two sides of the shell together, then lay the meat over the seam where the two shells meet.
4. While cutting through the shell, you may have also cut into the meat, which is okay. Make a shallow cut through the middle of the lobster meat so that you can peel down the thin layer of meat over the sides. This gives the lobster tail its signature look.
5. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
6. In a small bowl, combine the butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, and parsley, then brush the mixture evenly over the lobster

Broiled Lobster Tails

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 whole lobster tails
• ½ cup butter, melted
• ½ teaspoon ground paprika
• salt to taste
• ground white pepper, to taste
• 1 lemon - cut into wedges, for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the broiler.

2. Place lobster tails on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife or kitchen shears, carefully cut top side of lobster shells lengthwise. Pull apart shells slightly, and season meat with equal amounts butter, paprika, salt, and white pepper.

3. Broil lobster tails until lightly browned and lobster meat is opaque, about 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges to serve.
