Size chart (1–7 lb)
Soft planning guide — exact meat yield varies; ask the counter if you want help sizing a party:
- 1–1.5 lb — classic single-plate lobster
- 2–3 lb — larger plate or easy share
- 4–7 lb — showpiece / split for a table
We won’t invent a fixed “feeds X guests” number here — call (772) 461-2797 for holiday or party counts.
How to cook: boil, steam, or grill
Keep lobsters cool and cook the same day you pick up when you can.
- Boil — large pot of well-salted water at a rolling boil; cook until shells turn bright red and meat is opaque
- Steam — a few inches of water, tight lid, same doneness cues (bright red shell, opaque meat)
- Grill — often split or par-cooked first; finish over medium heat until just done
Timing depends on size and method — ask the shop for a minute guide for the pounds you buy tonight rather than guessing from a generic chart.
Pickup timing & keep-alive care
- Pick up as close to cook time as you can
- Keep lobsters cool, moist, and out of standing fresh water; don’t seal them airtight in a warm car
- Plan to cook promptly — live product isn’t a hold-for-days item
