Purchasing And Getting Lobster Tails Shipped Properly

By Dennis Cox


Every once in a while you need to indulge your taste buds. This can be by trying something you like but rarely get to eat, or something completely new altogether. Sea food is one of the things that will constantly offer you the thrill of getting to eat something new. If you live in a landlocked area, you might need to have the lobster tails shipped to you, along with other items like oysters and fish.

Logically to remove the tails, the animals will first have to be dead. In order for them not to get spoilt, they quickly will need to be frozen at less than ten degrees Fahrenheit. If it is stored at any temperature above this, you will find that it will go off very quickly. You should carry a thermometer with you and check a temperature of the packages. If they are higher than recommended you need to alert the people in charge.

Sea food is very sensitive and if it gets contaminated, it could lead to serious health problems. Any physical damage to the meat will also lower the quality of the purchase. You need to ensure that all the containers are properly sealed when you get them. This assures you that they have not been opened, after they were packed.

Lobster meat is characteristically white or pinkish in color. The shells however can be anything from white to multicolored, depending on the origin of the animals. They will all eventually turn red when you cook them. You need to check that the meat is firm, well frozen, and does not have any discoloration. This may indicate wrong handling, or even spoilage.

The people handling your shipping should be clean, and maintain the highest standard of sanitation. This will prevent cases of them selling you contaminated produce. The ship should be regularly cleaned, and the containers used for storage should also be thoroughly washed. If there is a lot of blood, it will affect the taste and quality of what you buy. You will however, have to rinse of the tails in cold water before you cook them.

It is advisable to buy the tails on the day you want to eat them. Most people consider the tails as the most delicious part of the lobster, and therefore, may acquire them for special occasions. If you buy them a day before, make sure to immediately freeze them. This will ensure you do not compromise the flavor and the quality of the purchase.

Most people buy their produce from the fish market, but if you want a large consignment you might find it cheaper to buy straight from the source. Talking to the people at your local fish shop, can help you get in touch with a credible person, to handle the shipment for you. If you find it difficult to get to the source to select the tails you want, you can purchase them on the internet, and then handle the arrangements for shipment.

For large family events or special dinners, you may want try something new and buying the whole lobster may not be in your budget. Getting the tails allow you to still eat the meat, at a slightly cheaper price. They can be cooked in a number of ways, and also paired with very many other dishes.
