    Did you only eat the lobster or also prepare it? One question I’ve always asked myself is whether you can prepare lobster without cooking it alive?

      You can, if you use a knife and make a quick incision in the head you can kill them quickly and painlessly before boiling them.

      (Video shows how it’s done, just in case anyone doesn’t want to see that)

      I have a bad childhood memory when my grandmother was boiling a big one alive and he got out of the pot, that was like seeing an extraterrestrial coming at you on the kitchen floor

      Yeah, you take a sharp knife and cut the head in half lengthwise. Then steam. I know there’s lobster sushi as well but I’m not sure how it’s butchered.

        Hi, usually when you want to add an update to your Original comment, simply edit the original and add an UPDATE: or an EDIT: tag. That’s how I usually see people going about it and I think it makes a lot of sense in thread forums.
