“Lobstah Dinnah”

Nothing better than an authentic Nantucket lobster dinner. The great thing is you can do it right here! You’ll find a lobster pot in the kitchen. Our favorite place to get lobsters is Sayles. You can buy everything you need for a great dinner from them. (You will also find claw cracker and seafood forks in the silverware drawer).

1. Boil a large pot of water with salt

2. Grasp the lobster by the body and lower it upside down and head first into the boiling water. Continue to add the live lobsters to the pot in this manner. Cover the pot.

3. Note the time at which the water comes to a boil again. From that point, boil the lobsters for 10-20 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the lobster. 10-13 minutes for 1 lb lobster, 12-18 minutes for a 1 1/2 pound lobster, 18-23 minutes for a 2-3 pound lobster. The lobsters should be a bright vivid red color when done.

Note that larger lobsters will turn bright red before they are completely finished cooking, so you do want to time your cooking, and not just go on color alone.

4. Remove the lobsters from the pot with tongs and place on a plate to drain and cool.
