Lobsters For $4.99/lb This Week at Stop & Shop

1 - 1 1/4 pound lobsters (chicken lobsters) are on sale for $4.99/lb at this week through Thursday, Feb. 16. That’s less than half the normal lobster going price. If you and your loved one are lobster fans, what a great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day dinner! And, hey, they even come in red — when they’re cooked.

If you don’t know how to cook lobsters, no problem, it’s very easy. The key to getting tender, not tough, sweet lobster meat is either steaming or boiling lobsters for 6 minutes per pound no matter how many lobsters you cook at once. I had two lobsters last night that weighed 1 1/4 pounds each and steamed them together for 6 minutes total cooking time. 

The pictures attached here give you a visual outline of what you’ll need and how to cook and prepare lobsters. For more detailed instructions, just click this link for easy to follow step-by-step picture book directions that show both how to cook and crack lobsters for the table.

Feast on!
