Guilt Free Indulgence!

Maine lobster is wholesome, nutritious and delicious! It is lower in fats, calories and cholesterol than even the light meat of chicken. Maine lobster, truly the world's ultimate white meat, comes from the cold waters of the North Atlantic ocean. Its' distinctive flavor is a natural delicacy for any occasion year round. Lobster meat is tender, firm-textured and slightly sweet. The tail is the meatiest and has a more firm texture than that of the claws, body and legs. Maine lobster contains 0.1 grams of Omega-3 fatty acids per 3.5 ounce serving. It is now widely recognized that omega-3 fatty acids are required for the optimal development of the nervous system and maturation of visual acuity in preterm and term infants. It also helps protect against heart disease, thrombosis, hypertension and inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. According to the American Medical Association, an intake of 5.5 grams of Omega-3 fatty acids per month was associated with a 50 percent reduction in the risk of primary cardiac arrest. Lobster is also high in amino acids, potassium, magnesium, vitamins A, B12, B6, B3 and B2, calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc.
A live lobster is greenish-brown because of the many different color pigment chromatophores. When cooked, all the pigments are masked except for the red background pigment.
