Been cooking lobster for 40 years, myself and 5 family members are lobster fishermen. you never boil lobster you steam them in 2 inches of water, and you opened the tails wrong always slice down the center of the tail to remove the intestine running through their tail. Just like shrimp, lobsters have their intestine running through their tail. Remove it by cutting down the center of the tail with a sharp knife, and then carefully pulling out the intestine, just like you would do to devein a shrimp.
@@ImBrockatron they try to escape the boiling water which means they feel everything. You guys are evil and you make up excuses like “they don’t feel anything”. They do feel it
Never boil lobster, steam it, that's how all the shack's up here in Maine cook em, one or two inches of water at most in the pot will do it. Bring it to boil dump em in , doesn't matter what size they are. After about 15-20 minutes their done when you can pull their antenna off, simple. Fished these bugs for years offshore and have no interest in eating em, I prefer a fresh off the boat piece of haddock or cod any day.
👎 There are several ways for you to kill the lobster as humanely as possible with less pain and suffering. I eat lobster, shrimp, crab and try my best to minimize their suffering and for me the best alternative is to put in a container with plenty of ice and water which the animal erases very quickly thus suffering much less
You have No idea what you're doing. You're supposed to put it in head first. Instead, you put it in tail first and the claws prevented the lobster from going into the water because your pot is too small. Disaster
When i first clicked on thia video i first checked to see the comments becasue i know there is gonna be a lot of hate 😂😂😂 And also all he tried to do is show all of us how to cook a lobster. If you guys are animal lover then why tf are you guys watching this video if it says about "cooking live animals" i really don't get guys i'm not hating on all of you so please don't start start a conversation about if i care about animals which i do but please don't start this with me. Again no hate.
JONATHAN BIRCH: There's evidence that a lobster will carry on living for two to three minutes when it's dropped into a pan of boiling water and that the nervous system response carries on very intensely during that time, just as it would with you or me or a cat or a dog or any animal dropped into a pan of boiling water.
@@prestcoldandy910 Did you enjoy killing small animals when young. Are you still doing so? Serial killers often tortured and killed small animals, before moving up to humans.
@@prestcoldandy910 Oohh...hit a nerve did I? You enjoy or at least are unconcerned about pain and suffering of an animal. Likely you may have done harm to an animal, and enjoyed! it Having a sociopath calling me a wimp, is not a bothersome insult in the slightest. Only a sociopath is unconcerned for the agony of animals, and other people as well. Calling me a wimp for caring for a life not suffering before being eaten, is a sure sign you are.
@@Wateringman so does it matter if they're killed humanely or is it the fact that they got killed for food? 😟 cos sometimes we feel bad for the meat but we're not gonna stop eating it
I’m sorry a quick remark red chopping boards are for red meat raw fish should be blue when it’s cooked ready to eat use yellow..to stop cross contamination..

Thought everyone knew that they dont even know what's happening. It's quite similar to frogs with boiling water but lobster doesnt need a gradual increase in heat...
You are mean, you are a murderer! Why not let die by itself before putting it live in the boiling water. Would you like someone to do that to you. At least put in ice, it'll die in the ice, then put it in the pot.
*steps on spider*: “yeah thats okay”.. *boils lobster*: “ANIMAL ABUSE”.. guys, they’re both arthropods.. lobsters r just rly big bugs - they don’t even have brains; they don’t feel it lol
This is absolutely barbaric, sickening and cruel! Why don't at least you slaughter the poor thing instead of torturing it like that? I never had lobster in my life cause of this disgusting cruelty.
How would you like to be thrown in hot boiling water? The lobster feels the same pain as us or as a dog. Why can't you just easily kill it before? It'll still be fresh!!!!!
My goodness, there are so many "youtube experts" that keep saying "you're method is wrong, you don't know anything, it should be done this way and that way", and all other kinds of crap. RU-vid should make it a policy that all "expert" commenters should show their credentials first before giving any opinion LOL
@Darren D LoL, and do you really think GR cared or did that before it became politically correct to do so.. Even the great GR has a fear of PETA and what they can do to his restaurant business.
@Darren D sorry no disrespect was meant to your comment.. I'm an old school lobster fishermen of 38+ years and just have never killed a lobster before putting it in the pot. Will prob keep cooking them alive till it's illegal to do so where l live.. I do know one thing, if it ever becomes like the Swiss the only way a lobster can be killed is by shock because it's more humane then I'm done eating lobster.. Hmm, think we stopped using the electric chair years ago because how inhumane it is for humans.
@Darren D right you are, I would never cook a warm blooded animal alive. Am not saying I'm right, just l see shellfish in a different light. It's always lobster and crab that are talked about. No one ever talks about how shrimp/prawns, oysters, clams, scallops etc are harvested and cooked.
Great tutorial! I love lobster (meat) but I never make it or order it because of the reward/work ratio. You make it look easy, so I'm going to try again soon.
Who fucking cares, killing it by boiling it or by stabbing it makes no differences since it's dead anyway. FFS people why can lions slaughter other animals for food but we can't boil a live lobster? It is cooked alive because it contains dangerous bacteria that spread rapidly after it dies. Anyway as I said, it doesn't matter because whatever way you kill it, it will suffer.
Probably much better than the woman in York, PA who preordered a Mother's Day dinner, but after waiting for her food for three hours, demanded her refund. It didn't go well.
Eating meat is not for you then. Nothing wrong with being a vegetarian. Just remember any meat (Beef,Pork,Poultry,Fish,seafood) you eat, it died first. If something dying so you can eat bothers you, stop eating it. It leaves more for those of us who enjoy eating meat. Yummmm....
Nick Rios It’s you’re not your, if you didn’t insult YOUR own intelligence I’d be inclined to do so. 😂😂😂😂 He also showed an effective way of cracking it open to obtain the most meat from the lobster. So again , thank you . 😘
@@a-lo9062 You put a space between your period and your comma you idiot, here you are mocking someone's poor grammar and you fail at the use of basic punctuation. What a moron.
Depends on what he's cooking it for. Some dishes call for sauteed lobster so the par-boiled lobster will then finish cooking in the pan and not be over cooked.
I'm sure this falls foul of the basic laws of being a human binding on all humanity (Laws of Noah, Noahide laws). One cannot cause pain and suffering to a live animal, one may not eat the limb of a living animal.
@@robinanwaldt It has been proven by scientists that lobsters subjected to such a method of killing, that their nerveous system becomes extremely agitated. I also consider is wiser to just kill its brain quickly with a knife. Then I know its dead prior to steaming. Doesn't take that much effort to be sure.
@@baha3alshamari152 He could have killed the lobster by running a knife blade though the head then stuck it in the hot water immediately after killing it. No rotting of the meat. No food poisoning nothing and it was done humanly.
@@baha3alshamari152 Lobsters do not have your typical human-like brain. Instead, they have a set of ganglia, which is a group of neuron cell bodies, throughout their body that contains only a hundred thousand neurons. Ever hear a lobster scream I have.
