About this item

Boston lobster is the cold-water kind, recognisable by the heavy blue-black shell and the broad, meaty claws. It is frozen whole, so both the tail and the knuckles come with it. Because it is frozen rather than cooked, it suits either route: split it down the back and grill it, or drop it into boiling water and take it out after the shell turns red. The claws carry most of the sweetness, which is why they are worth the extra few minutes.
