Having Lobster Tails Shipped Correctly

By Dennis Cox


Different people like eating different things. Most people will agree, however, that once you start eating good sea food, it will quickly turn into one of your favorite meals. This will include anything from prawns, to even octopus. Some people may not have direct access to these marine creatures, and may need to have their lobster tails shipped. In order to make sure you get the best frozen products, there are some things to consider.

Most people buy frozen sea food, without thinking about how it got to them. When you are transporting these items, you need to ensure that they are totally frozen, to prevent delivering rotten items. Lobster, particularly, can go off very fast if not stored properly. If you think your items were not stored at the right temperatures, you can refrain from taking them and immediately contact the shipping company.

Sea food is very sensitive and if it gets contaminated, it could lead to serious health problems. Any physical damage to the meat will also lower the quality of the purchase. You need to ensure that all the containers are properly sealed when you get them. This assures you that they have not been opened, after they were packed.

When you are inspecting, you also should look at the lobster tails themselves. The meat should be white, or a slight pink and they will turn red once you cook them. If it has any black or yellow spots do not buy it. Also if the tail looks gray, it might be sign that the lobster was dead before the processing stage.

Cleanliness is another thing you have to check. Seafood can easily go off when stored in unhygienic conditions. The ship, its containers, and the people handling your produce, should be clean. They also need to vigilantly keep checking for anything, which may compromise the tails. Once you get them, any slime or blood needs to be washed off with cold water. This will also get rid of any microorganisms, which may be on the shells.

It is advisable to buy the tails on the day you want to eat them. Most people consider the tails as the most delicious part of the lobster, and therefore, may acquire them for special occasions. If you buy them a day before, make sure to immediately freeze them. This will ensure you do not compromise the flavor and the quality of the purchase.

To get in touch with a reputable shipping company, you should ask around. You can get in touch with the people at the fish market, or hotels that serve seafood. If you can, it is better to select the produce in person. This might not be possible for everyone and some sellers, these days, have made it possible for you to make the purchase online, then you get it shipped.

Steaming, baking, and even grilling, are some of the various ways you can prepare this meat. The method you choose will be determined by your preferences, and also what you plan to serve as an accompaniment. Normally, a slice of lemon and a stick of butter are always included when serving the meal.
