Cooked Lobster Meat Overnight Delivery By Fedex

Cooked Lobster Meat

Cooked lobster meat is the sweet, briny, pearly white, tender-yet-firm flesh from the tail, claws, knuckles, and body of a lobster, which turns opaque and firm when heated, offering a delicate ocean flavor perfect for various dishes. It's identifiable by its bright white color (sometimes with red flecks), firm texture, and clear juices when done, contrasting with raw, translucent meat, and comes in tail, claw, knuckle, and body cuts, often sold shucked and ready to eat.

Characteristics

Flavor: Sweet with a hint of the ocean's saltiness (briny).

Texture: Tender but slightly firm and springy, not mushy or rubbery.

Appearance: Pearly white and opaque, often with red flecks in the shell or on the meat, especially from hard-shell lobsters.

Where it comes from

Harvested from the tail, claws, knuckles, and body (legs and internal cavities).

Often sold as "TC" (Tail/Claw), "CK" (Claw/Knuckle), or "TCK" (Tail, Claw, Knuckle) mixes, or minced.

How to identify if it's cooked

Color change: Meat turns from translucent to opaque white.

Firmness: Becomes firm and springy; juices run clear.

Shell: Turns bright red.

How it's used

Freshly cooked meat is ready to be gently reheated or added to recipes.

Used in soups (bisque), salads, pasta, and often poached in butter for a rich dish.

How many live lobsters does it take to make 4 lbs of cooked lobster meat?

To get 4 lbs of cooked lobster meat, you'll generally need around 16 to 20 pounds of live lobster, depending on size and shell type, because hard-shell lobsters yield roughly 20-25% meat by weight, and you lose weight during cooking. Expect 4-5 hard-shell lobsters (1.25-2 lbs each) for 1 lb of meat; thus, multiply that by four.

General Estimates:

Hard-Shell (1.25-2 lb): 4 to 5 lobsters for 1 lb of meat.

For 4 lbs of meat: 16 to 20 pounds of live hard-shell lobster (e.g., 8-10 lobsters at 2 lbs each).

Soft-Shell: You'll need more, possibly 5-6 lbs of soft-shell for 1 lb of meat, as they have less meat content.

Key Factors:

Size Matters:Larger lobsters (2+ lbs) have a better meat-to-shell ratio than smaller ones.

Shell Type:Hard-shell lobsters offer more meat than soft-shell (new shell) lobsters.

Cooking Loss:Expect a 5-25% weight loss from live to cooked weight.
