LOBSTER PREPARATION

For five 1-1/2lb lobsters, I simply boiled about 3/4 inch of water in a large pot to fit the lobsters.

Soon as the water boiled, I dropped the lobsters and covered the pot.  Simmer for 20 minutes then turn off heat and uncover the pot. 

Above is a female lobster.  The blue mark  like an inverted U indicates it is.

Place them in a boiling pot.

After 20 minutes, uncover the pot do the lobsters  do not over cook.

Cut the shells to remove the meat easily from the tail and claws.

I have decided to make lobster rolls so I packed them up in a plastic container after taking the meat out if the shells.

I now realize that four 1-1/2 lb lobsters fits one medium sized container - 16oz container.

Red Hook Lobster Truck

Supposedly winner if the best Food Truck in the nation is Red Hook Lobster truck.

I made it to their spot today (every Tuesday) 11AM-2/30PM at 50th St between 6th and 7th Avenues.

I chose their Maine style with lemon based mayo which they make.  Next time I'll have the Connecticut version warm, and with butter.

They were out of Tuscan style Nd the chipotle pepper.

Maybe the Connecticut style will be like Luke's Lobster which is also quite good.
