To ensure even cooking, the barbecue is best for small lobsters (less than 450 g or 1 lb), especially at the end of the season when lobster meat is less sweet. It will really benefit from the caramelization it gets from the grill.
Popular with connoisseurs, steaming preserves the delicate flavour of the lobster meat. Use this method for lobsters over 450 g (1 lb) served whole.
Want to save time or avoid the hassle? Have your lobster cooked and shelled before picking it up at the grocery store.
