The native European lobster has a dark blue-black shell that turns bright red when cooked, two large claws and a long, muscular tail. It lives among rocks on the sea bed and is caught in pots set by Cornish inshore fishermen.
The meat is firm, sweet and rich, from the tail, the claws and the knuckles. Lobster is a treat for celebrations and summer gatherings, and it needs very little done to it: butter, lemon and a good mayonnaise are classic partners.

How much to buy
Half a 500-700g lobster as a starter, or a whole one as a main.
Season
Lobster can be enjoyed through all four seasons in the UK.
Storage and freezing
Keep chilled at the bottom of the fridge (0-5C), covered with a damp cloth if live, and cook or eat within 24 hours of delivery.
Cooked lobster meat can be frozen, tightly wrapped, for up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge and eat cold or warm through gently.
Chef's tip
When grilling a lobster that is already cooked, you are only warming it through; a few minutes under a hot grill is enough.
