Enjoy the Best of Lobsters at the Right Lobster Season

If you have not tried a Maine lobster before then it is very important for you to know that there is no substitute. Along the coast of Maine, losbstering is done all throughout the year. But a seafood lover often asks himself the question if there is any lobster season. Well, generally, the best of the lobsters are known to be caught before Memorial Day or after Labor Day. But this however is always not true. This is because Mother Nature always is not that co-operating. Since the weather is highly unpredictable, the seasonal changes affect the supply and demand of Maine lobsters.

It is now well known by every seafood lover that lobster fishing is very active in the Gulf of Maine. Each area is subject to its own lobster season. Canada is known to boast of more than 60 percent of the lobster landings in the North American region. It is also known to provide more than half of the world’s supply of lobster.

With lobster, summer is anonymous. Summer is an awaited lobster season. Some of the highest lobster landings in the world have been recorded to have taken place in the summer season. Lobstermen are known to work all round the clock to meet the demands of the tourists on the coast. Most of the lobsters are found in the summers since they are known to migrate in shore to the warmer waters. Many shed their shells during this time. After this the lobster they need to feed themselves. It is very easy to trap hungry lobsters. Generally, most of the production from July to late September is known to be of a soft shell. The soft shelled lobsters are comparatively not as strong as the hard shelled lobsters. These lobsters are also characterized as having less meat per pound than hard shelled lobsters.

Again, from mid September to late November is another lobster season when lobster fishing is being done in full swing. At this time of the year most of the lobster inventories are used to meet the demands of Christmas and New Year Celebrations. At this time of the year, the Americans transport a bulk of hard shelled lobsters to Asia and Europe to fetch some good dollars for themselves. Keeping in mind the seasonal changes and anticipating when harvest can exceed demand, the excess is stored and used when the catch is a little slower.

When the temperatures drop, lobsters become less active. During January to March there is probably no lobstering going on. The peak time for lobster fishing arises again from May and June when the lobsters have more meat.

A lobster is one of the best seafood delights. It is loved by both seafood lovers and non-seafood lovers. Lobster rules the world of the crustaceans and is known as the king of seafood.  Most of the people love to eat lobsters but they find it too expensive to buy a whole lobster.

As this takes a little while, in the meantime you can prepare the sauce with which you would like to enjoy your lobster.

Pair up your Lobster Dinner with the Perfect Side Dish



Image Courtesy:http://goo.gl/MgPMM
A weekend dinner always calls for celebration with the entire family over the dining table. While making a lobster dinner most of us face the problem of not knowing what to serve it with. It is true that a special main dish deserves special side dishes. While you plan out your meal whether it is serving a steak or a lobster dinner, you need to consider a few side dishes and innovative ideas:

Start Off with an Appetizer

Always remember that choosing the right appetizer is the key to making your dinner a success. You can bake up some cheesy biscuits or arrange for some light salad of greens. A mini lobster roll would actually be the perfect opening act for the delicious lobster main entrée.

Pair your Dinner up

You might want to pair your lobster with steak or something other and make it a combined dinner. A good companion to the lobster is butter sauce and you can try sugar snap peas. You can also serve sautéed asparagus with a sauce of your choice.

Side Dishes

Lobster as a dish is relatively heavy and therefore it is better for you to choose a typically lighter side dish. A green salad with a light creamy dressing perfectly compliments lobster dishes. You can also plan a fruit salad that has a creamy dressing. Another side that goes well with a lobster dish is garlic toast.

End With a Decent Dessert

An elegant dinner needs to end with an elegant dessert as well. You can try making a homemade cheesecake or a chocolate cake without flour. Both these desserts are actually rich enough to stand up to a fabulous lobster dinner for your entire family. You can also serve them with tiny little slices of indulgence. A cup of dessert wine would be just perfect.

A lobster does not require being prepared in an exceptionally fancy way. If you think that lobster is a delicacy for adults only then you are wrong. Lobster dishes can be enjoyed by every member of your family and is a hit among children as well. The key lies in cooking the dish in a perfect way. It is for this reason that picking the right lobster is as important as selecting the right side dish.

You can master fewquick and delicious recipes online. The internet has evolved as one of the biggest repositories of information and here information implies information about lobster dishes and other seafood recipes.
