How much is a Boston lobster?

Boston lobster contains all kinds of nutrients needed by humans, but Boston lobster lives in cold waters, has a very short survival period out of water, and grows particularly slowly, so the market price is much more expensive than ordinary lobsters.

Boston lobsters are usually around one pound each, and the current market price is around 150-200 yuan per pound. Many families can afford this price, so catching one occasionally is a good choice.

Most live lobsters are packed in 25-50 pound boxes with seaweed or newspaper soaked in seawater and ice. At 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius), lobsters can survive 36-48 hours out of water. Before shipping to customers, they should be placed in 40-45 degrees Fahrenheit (4-7 degrees Celsius) water to slow metabolism and relieve depression.

Baked lobster in cheese broth

This is one of the most common ways to eat lobster. The cheese flavor does not cover up the sweetness of the lobster.

The lobster is first coated with cornstarch and fried, and then boiled in thick cheese broth to be extremely tender. The white meat, peeled off the shell lightly, tastes crispy and naked, and does not feel fried at all. June and July are the official lobster fishing season, and the lobster meat is the most plump at this time.
