Lobster--a-fresh--delicious-seafood-treat
By Shannon Linnen
Enjoying a delicious dinner of fresh shellfish is a pleasure that nobody should miss. It is easiest to do this, of course, if you live on the coast or nearby. However, if you live inland and don't have good access to seafood, there may be a specialty shop or a restaurant in your area that can sell you fish that were flown in that day. Of course the best place to get fresh seafood is from a reputable online vendor. With the introduction of overnight delivery from Fedex to the continental US, there is absolutely no reason for you not to enjoy a fresh seafood meal on a regular basis. Frozen fish is a poor substitute.

The king of seafood is of course, lobster. Whoever first decided to try and eat one must have had courage. In fact, they were not popular for a long time. Did you know that what to us is a pricey delicacy was once the food of commoners? It's true; however, that piece of trivia will probably be small comfort when you?re shelling out $11.95 a pound in stores or $29.95 in a restaurant. Often times ordering online is the best way to ensure you are getting the freshest possible. After all, this way you can order it directly from a coastal area and have it shipped to you, even if your in the Arizona desert.

When preparing at home purchase one live and kicking from your local fish market or seafood counter and bring them home. Be certain not to store them in fresh water as that will kill them, just seal them up in the fridge and plan to at them that evening as doesn't keep very well.

Here's the tough part. Each lobster, sadly, will have to give its life for your meal, and you are the one who has to make it happen. To do it humanely, you can drop them into water that is at a violent rolling boil, or you can put them out of their misery first by inserting the point of a knife briskly between the head and the body, which kills them instantly. If you choose the second option, they can be steamed in less water. You can also grill them.

Put on a bib, serve your with some butter and lemon, and don't stand on ceremony. There are tasty morsels of meat all throughout the shell. Green tomalley or red roe which you may find in the body is edible

as well, and gourmets prize this for sure.

An ocean-themed meal like this doesn't have to be limited to just lobster. Try some fresh shellfish like mussels for instance. Just scrub them thoroughly and steam them in in a liquid like wine, water or broth. Also try steamer clams, you steam these and dip them into a broth to wash away any sand left over from the beach. Another great shellfish baked, fried or sometimes raw is oyster. Don't forget langoustines, shrimp and crayfish. All of which are tasty treats from the sea.

The great thing about seafood is you don't have to be a super duper cook or anything. Out of all the different ways to prepare a seafood meal, you can always find one that fits perfectly with your skill level in the kitchen. Just seafood all by itself tasted great, even if you just boil or steam it.

If all these kinds of seafood are still a bit daunting, there's another choice for the faint of heart. You can always go to the soup aisle and purchase some clam chowder. Fresh fish is better, but you'll at least get the true briny taste of the ocean. Serve it with oyster crackers, perhaps an extra dash of cream, and lots of ground black pepper. Then, pretend you're on the beach.

When you want to really impress your friends and family, then providing a seafood feast is the way to go! Just imagine the long lasting impressions you will leave after they have left. Most likely this will be something that they talk about for years to come. The party that you throw could very well go down in history as the best meal ever! It all started with you deciding to throw a and shellfish tasty adventure.
