Gift Certificates And Lobsters Go Together

Gift certificates are a popular choice, especially when shipping presents to friends or family who lives far away.  One of the most original ideas to come about  in recent years has been the mail order lobster or Lobster Gram.  Recipients are given a certificate and can order their lobster to be delivered on the date of their choosing.  They can choose from a live lobster or frozen lobster tails and detailed instructions on how to cook a lobster will be included to make the meal an easy and fun experience.

While lobster tails are shipped frozen and ready to cook, whole lobsters are best prepared and cooked while they are still alive, so the recipient will get a delivery of a live, freshly caught  lobster.  Since lobsters can live up to 36 hours outside of water they are packed and shipped overnight with frozen gel packs.

The most common method of cooking live lobster is either boiling or steaming, but grilling produces excellent flavor as well.  Whichever method is chosen, care must be taken not to overcook the lobster because the result can be tough and less succulent meat that is stringy or mushy.  Remember to remove the lobster from the pot as soon as the shell turns bright red.

Instructions on how to cook a lobster, nutcracker for the claws, and bib to keep your clothes clean are common accessories for a lobster meal.  Many Lobster Gram packages include accessories so you can cook and enjoy your meal with little stress.  Consider sending a certificate for a live lobster to a friend and order one for yourself. You can order lobster for overnight delivery anytime you want a taste of the sea.  These gift certificates will be a unique present for a special friend or family member.
