For this reason, I am sure most people would like to know about its flavor, before actually trying a lobster. None of us would want to be in a situation where we’d end up ordering lobster and not liking it, but still having to pay good money for it!

This article is worth a read if you want to avoid being in a situation like this. You will get almost all the information imaginable, about lobsters. So, happy reading to you!

What Is Lobster Meat?

In a world where seafood is extremely popular, there are a lot of varieties of crustaceans to choose from. Whether it comes to crabs, shrimp or even crawfish for that matter, there is a huge variety.

However, lobster meat is still considered to be the most exquisite and flavorful. So, before I get to the flavor of lobster meat, let me give you a brief introduction about lobsters and lobster meat. 

Although lobsters are harvested and caught in different parts of the world, most of the lobster meat in the US comes from the Atlantic ocean. Majority of the lobster meat is harvested in Canada with some also in Maine.

In cold waters, the salt water does not permeate the lobster meat as much, giving it a sweeter flavor and more succulent meat. This is one of the reasons why Maine lobsters are extremely popular. 

Most lobster meat is usually harvested from the tail, knuckles, legs and claws of the lobster. Although termed as ‘meat’, lobster is not actually meat but a type of crustacean. The flesh of the lobster is however always referred to as lobster meat.

Although the meat is technically classified into various parts like tail, claw, knuckle, leg and body meat, there are also variations available where two different forms of meat are combined together and sold. 

Lobster is also sold whole, where you can boil it and then break it apart yourself. However, to save people’s time, quite a lot of people have started selling pre-cooked lobster meat which can directly be added to different recipes.

With the different parts of lobster meat, they are sold raw and preserved by a process called Ultra High Pressure or UHP which vacuum packs lobsters. It also removes the meat from the shell while still preserving the flavor. The meat is sold in both fresh and frozen forms. 

What Does Lobster Taste Like?

Although most of us non-vegetarians have tasted seafood, lobster is a completely new entity for many. So, I am sure that some of you may have either seen lobsters at your local market. Or many of you may have heard about wonderful lobsters being sold at a local fine dining restaurant.

So, however you want to try it, it is always good to know what flavor you should expect. Let me give you a definitive answer of what lobster actually tastes like. 

The flavor of lobster meat is quite often described as a cross between the flavors of shrimp and crab meat. However, there are certain notable differences which makes lobsters more exquisite and highly preferred amongst many. Lobster meat has a sweeter flavor and a less fishy taste compared to both crab and shrimp. 

Once cooked, lobster meat has a perfect balance of fresh flavors like sweet and tangy along with slightly salty, as they come from salt water. The flavor and texture may highly differ depending on how the lobster is cooked.

However, the main reason for the popularity of lobsters is the fact that despite how they are cooked, they retain a fresh and sweet flavor. When it comes to the texture, it is often defined as a cross between the textures of shrimp and crab.

But, lobster meat is not as chewy as  either of these and has a much smoother texture. The flavor of lobster meat also varies depending on the type of lobster. Certain types have a slightly sweeter flavor than others, depending on where they are harvested from. 

Does Lobster Actually Taste Good?

When it comes to tastes and flavors of a particular ingredient, quite a lot of us usually just want to know one thing; does it even taste good? This can be a controversial question as taste can be a highly subjective matter.

However, for those who want to try lobster meat for the first time, I am sure this question must be lingering at the back of your mind. So, let me answer it the best way I can. 

For those who have tried other types of seafood before, lobster is not really an acquired taste. Lobster may taste like a mix of several different types of seafood you may have eaten before. However, the main flavor of lobsters still remains slightly sweet, with a balance of a tangy and salty flavor. 

This flavor, combined with the tender and smooth bites of lobster meat makes lobster much preferred by many. So, it can safely be said that the combination of flavors from lobster and the texture make it taste really good. 

What Does Lobster Tail Taste Like?

The tail of the lobster is usually most preferred by many. This is because it is the meatiest and tastiest part of the lobster. So, most people who have tried lobster meat before or even those trying it for the first time, may often stick to eating the tail of the lobster. So, we know that it is the meatiest part of the lobster, but what does this part even taste like?

Lobster tail has a firmer and meatier texture, with a sweeter flavor, compared to most other types of seafood. Although quite often compared with shrimp and crab, lobster tails are not as chewy as shrimp and not as flaky as crab meat. 

They have a melt in your mouth texture, despite being chewy and meaty. Although Lobster’s flavor remains sweet even after cooking, lobster tails generally soak up all flavors quite easily. So, the way the tail is cooked and what it is served with also plays a huge part in the overall flavor. 

What Does Lobster Bisque Taste Like?

Lobster bisque is a very popular type of lobster soup that is sold in quite a lot of places. A bisque is a soup that highlights the flavors of the main ingredient with other complimenting flavors. So, for those who don’t want to bother breaking apart a lobster, lobster bisque may be the dish of choice.

Lobster bisque actually tastes a lot like a lobster that is cooked in cream and butter. Generally, most varieties of bisque call for just the shell of the lobster and not the actual meat. The shell gives it the definitive flavor of buttery lobsters.

This flavor is however intensified with the addition of seasonings, vegetables and thickeners. So, overall the main flavor of a lobster bisque is that of buttery lobster, with depth provided by various other complimenting ingredients. 

What Does Lobster Sauce Taste Like?

Many of you may have heard about a dish called shrimp with lobster sauce. So, when we hear about a dish with a particular name, we immediately associate the flavor with the name of the ingredient in a dish.

However, it may surprise a lot of you when I say that lobster sauce actually does not contain any lobster! This sauce is quite often served with shrimp and is an important part of American-Chinese and Canadian-Chinese cuisines. 

Traditionally, a lobster sauce contains ingredients like soy sauce, ground pork, ginger, garlic, egg, fermented black beans and a meat-based stock. However, despite the addition of strong flavors, lobster sauce has a fairly mild taste.

The flavors compliment the taste and texture of shrimp really well. This is why it is usually the meat of choice served with lobster sauce. 

Does Lobster Taste Like Prawns?

Prawns are often confused with shrimps. Though they both have many similarities, there are some very minor differences between the two crustaceans. However, in terms of flavor and texture, prawns and shrimps are quite similar.

So, many of you may have guessed that lobster does taste somewhat like prawns. But, there are certain differences in the flavors of the two, which are worth noting. 

Lobster does taste like a mix of prawns or shrimp and crab. However, lobsters are much meatier and have a better balance of flavors as compared to prawns.

Prawns tend to have a fishy taste, whereas lobster meat has a balance of sweet, tangy and salty flavors. Moreover, the texture of lobster is firm, yet smoother than the flavor of prawns. 

Does Lobster Taste Like Chicken?

Chicken is one of the most favored forms of meat all across the world. There may be differences when it comes to certain remote places. However, all in all, chicken is a flavor that most non-vegetarians can easily associate with. We all know that chicken has a mellow flavor. Does it really compare with the flavor of a lobster? Let’s find out!

I think we all can agree that since chicken is a land animal whereas lobster comes from the ocean, there will be certain notable differences in their flavor and texture. Chicken has a more metallic taste as compared to lobsters. This is mainly due to their body composition.

Although both lobster and chicken take up the flavor of other ingredients quite easily, there is a notable difference in their base flavor. Lobsters have an even more subtle flavor compared to chicken. Lobsters generally tend to have a sweeter flavor with a little amount of saltiness to it, due to their natural habitat.

Chicken on the other hand does not have that salty flavor and the other balance of flavors that lobster has. The texture of chicken is also more stringy and meaty, whereas lobsters melt in your mouth. So, they do have quite different flavors. 

Does Lobster Have A Fishy Taste?

Quite often, it happens that we end up associating the flavor of any sort of seafood with the flavor of fish. The flavor of fish is quite pungent and lobster actually does not carry that pungent flavor at all. It is a huge misconception that all sorts of seafood may have a fishy flavor. So, there are various differences between the flavors of fish and lobster. 

Fish, whether it is freshwater or saltwater, has a pungent aroma and taste, which is usually a combination of sweet and sour flavors. Most of us, when we eat fish, can immediately associate it with the standard fishy flavor. 

However, lobster does not carry that aroma or taste. Compared to fish, lobsters are sweeter tasting and also have a very neutral smell. This shows that lobsters do not have a fishy flavor. In case they do taste or smell fishy, the lobster is probably not fresh. 

Why Does My Lobster Taste Like Metal?

With most types of meat, there is a little bit of a lingering metallic taste that follows, mainly because of the high iron content in them. Lobster is a very delicate type of meat, as compared to hardy meats like chicken, pork, lamb or beef.

However, there have been instances where people have claimed that their lobster has a metallic taste. Why does this happen if the overall flavor of the meat is supposed to be subtle?

The overall flavor of lobster is extremely mild and is not supposed to have a metallic taste. However, in case you do get a metallic flavor from your lobster, there are high chances that you may be allergic to it.

Moreover, certain times, metallic flavors can also be because of certain other health conditions related to the kidneys or liver. So, if you do get a metallic flavor out of lobster, it is best to consult a doctor about the same to check for undiagnosed allergies or illnesses. 

Things That Can Affect The Taste Of Lobsters

Like mentioned earlier, the overall flavor of lobsters is usually a mix of sweetness, saltiness and tanginess. However, not all lobsters taste the same. These are the basic flavors we associate lobsters with. But, there are some differences in the flavors of lobsters that come from different places.

So, what is it that makes or affects the flavor of lobsters? Below, I have given a detailed description of certain parameters as to why there are differences in the flavors.

1. Texture

When it comes to the texture of lobsters, we all know that they almost melt in your mouth. However, depending on the habitat of the lobster, the texture may vary with each lobster. Lobsters that come from colder places tend to have a sweeter flavor and a softer texture. 

This is because a lower amount of salt permeates through their shell and actually gets to the meat. This in turn makes their texture softer. Depending on how soft or chewy the texture of the lobster is, the taste can also vary a little bit. This all comes down to how much salt has actually gone through their shell, into the flesh. 

2. Seasonal Taste

With different animals and seafood, they all have a definite mating time. With lobsters, it is usually winter. In winters, the lobsters are full of roe. Roe is basically unfertilized eggs that you would find on a female lobster. Cooking the lobster along with its roe gives a very different texture compared to cooking it without the roe. 

The roe gives the lobster an extra added fatty flavor. Moreover, the roe also adds to the texture of the lobster, making that particular part more soft and chewy. Moreover, in winters, as the water is really cold, a lesser amount of salt gets through the shell of the lobster. This gives it a sweeter flavor. 

3. What It Is Cooked With

Overall, if you taste lobsters on their own, their flavor is very mild and subtle. However, most of us like our food with some sort of flavoring. It is always better than just having bland meat. So, as lobsters absorb the flavors of other ingredients very easily, what you cook them with plays a huge part in their flavor. 

Usually, quite a lot of people prefer having lobsters just with a squeeze of lime or garlic butter. The addition of lime juice gives it a slightly sour flavor, however, it still stays as close to the original flavor of the lobster. On the other hand, having it with garlic butter or any other flavor will mostly make the lobster taste like that particular flavoring. 

Various Methods Of Cooking A Lobster

With lobsters, there are various cooking methods that follow. Many people prefer adding lobster meat to various recipes, like macaroni and cheese, soups, curries and many more. However, to preserve the actual taste and texture of a lobster, it is best cooked in certain specific ways.

The three common methods to cook lobster are boiling, grilling and frying. Let me tell you a little bit about how the taste of the lobster is affected by each cooking method. 

1. Boiling

Boiling lobsters is the easiest method to cook a lobster. Most people prefer boiling their lobster, then removing the meat and serving it or adding it to other recipes. Boiling lobster is quite simple. A live lobster is added to boiling salted water. 

Once the lobster turns red in color, it is removed from the boiling water and dunked in cold water to stop the cooking process. This is one of the easiest ways to preserve the natural flavor of the lobster. Boiled lobster is often served with lemon or garlic butter, to intensify the flavor. 

2. Grilling

Grilling is another common method by which lobsters are often cooked. Quite a lot of people prefer grilling only lobster tails, however, whole lobsters can also be grilled. Unlike certain other types of crustaceans, lobsters don’t necessarily need to be pre-cooked before grilling them. 

As they have firmer meat that holds their shape well, lobsters can be halved and grilled as they are. Grilling is usually done after brushing a little olive oil on the lobster and is served with dipping sauces. Grilling gives the lobster a great char and gives an added flavor. 

3. Frying

Frying is mostly done with lobster tails as they hold their shape better and don’t fall apart during the cooking process. Lobster tails are first coated with batter or breadcrumbs and then fried whole. Again, with this process, the lobster tails don’t have to be pre-cooked. 

Fried lobster tails are often served with garlic and herb butter and certain dipping sauces. Fried lobsters taste great, as of course, anything that is fried will always taste good!

However, as there are a lot of seasonings and flavorings used in the batter itself, fried lobster usually has a very mellow flavor. They tend to  absorb the flavors of the flavorings. 

Parts Of A Lobster That You Can Eat

People who have never eaten a lobster before may get intimidated if a whole lobster is put in front of them. With most types of meat or even crustaceans for that matter, it is easier to tell which part is edible and which one isn’t. However, lobster, being a large crustacean, does have different compositions of meat in each part of the body. 

So, what exactly are the edible portions of a lobster and how meaty are they? Let me give you a detailed guide of all the edible parts of a lobster along with their flavor and meat composition. 

1. Tail

A lobster tail is the most meaty and delicious part of a lobster. It is the part that contains most meat. Lobster tails are most preferred because they are easy to pick and also have a great texture. 

Moreover, the tail fins also have some meat under them which is extremely flavorful. Lobster tails can easily be pulled apart from the body of the lobster and then the meat can be eaten with a fork. 

2. Claws

Lobster claws are the second meatiest bit when it comes to lobster meat. They have softer meat as compared to the meat in the tail. This is because the claws are not used as much as the tail. Moreover, the meat is succulent and sweet. 

To eat lobster claws, all you need to do is twist the claw from the body and then break it apart with a nutcracker. Inside, there is sweet and soft meat that can be enjoyed. Moreover, breaking apart a claw is even easier, in case your lobster has a softer shell. 

3. Knuckles

The knuckles are that part of the lobster that attach the claws to the rest of the body. Quite a lot of chefs claim the knuckles are the tastiest part, however, not everyone is in on this idea. 

However, knuckles of lobster do have a small amount of meat in them that is juicy. Usually, to eat the meat from the knuckles, you would have to twist it around by holding the claw. However, not everyone is too fond of this as it tends to be too much work for a very small portion of meat. 

4. Legs

Legs of a lobster are definitely edible, with sweet meat. A lot of people actually do like the flavor of the meat from the legs quite a lot, as it is extremely succulent. However, just like the knuckles, there is a very small amount of meat present in the legs. 

To eat the meat from lobster legs, the easiest way is to pull it off the body first. After that, you can bite on to the shell to remove some of it and then suck on the meat inside. Some people also prefer breaking them apart with a heavy object like a rolling pin, in case they want to protect their teeth. 

5. Tomalley

Tomalley is basically the green stuff you find inside a lobster, once it is cooked. It is the liver and pancreas of the lobster. Tomalley does have a metallic taste, compared to the rest of the body of the lobster. 

With a whole boiled lobster, tomalley can just be scooped out with a spoon and eaten. However, a lot of people do prefer adding it to other recipes rather than eating it as it is. Adding it to recipes with stronger flavors tends to soften the taste of the tomalley and for some, makes it more edible. 

6. Roe

Roe is a sack of unfertilized eggs that you’d find attached to some female lobsters. Roe has a fatty flavor and is considered as a very tasty part of the lobster, by many. The texture is quite waxy with a slightly mineral-like flavor. 

With roe, you don’t need to worry much about how to eat it. You can just detach the roe from the body and directly pop it in your mouth. In case the texture or flavor puts you off, you can always mix the roe with some garlic butter, to enhance the flavor. 

How To Find The Best Lobster?

We all want to eat the freshest of ingredients, regardless of what it may be. This especially is the case with meat and seafood, as eating stale or bad quality meat can give you some really bad stomach issues! In some cases, it can also be lethal. So, it is always important to select lobster that is fresh, to avoid all these issues. 

However, not everyone may be familiar with how you can buy the freshest and best of lobster. There are some tips that you can follow, to pick out the best, when you go lobster shopping.

But, first and foremost, always remember that a lobster, when bought, should always be alive! Dead lobsters disintegrate really quickly and release toxins. This is exactly why they are boiled alive. 

1. Buying It From The Right Place

With lobsters, it is extremely important to buy them from the right place, which is usually fish markets. Fish markets that are located near the coast tend to have the freshest lobsters.

Buying them from a supermarket will not give you the same flavor. This is because there is a high chance that the lobsters have been left in storage for a while. 

2. Type Of Lobster

While buying lobster for yourself, it is important to know that there are hard skinned and soft skinned lobsters. Hard skin lobsters tend to have more meat than soft shelled ones, as they have grown into their shell. 

However, hard shelled lobsters are more difficult to pick and have tougher meat than soft shell lobsters. Moreover, soft shelled lobsters should only be bought if it’s local produce, as these lobsters don’t ship well. 

3. Picking A Healthy Lobster

We know that although lobster is available in frozen form, fresh lobsters taste the best. Moreover, fresh lobsters have to be alive when bought. However, along with being alive, you have to check if the lobster is healthy or not, to get the best flavor.

In case the lobster that you have picked out has a lot of marks or lesions on the skin, chances are it is not as healthy. Another way is to check their antennas. If you see that the lobster is missing an antenna, chances are it has been in storage for a long time and is not fresh.  

How To Preserve A Lobster?

Lobsters are bought live and it is usually advised to cook them immediately, to get the freshest flavor. However, there can be many reasons why you probably won’t be able to cook your lobster on the same day. So, if a situation like this arises, there is no need to panic!

There are some ways in which you can store a lobster, to preserve its natural flavor. I have shared some tips here on how you can store a live lobster until you cook it. Moreover, I have also shared how you can store cooked lobster meat. 

How To Store A Live Lobster:

1. To store a live lobster, first and foremost, do remember to not take off the rubber bands from their claws. 
2. Wrap the lobster in a damp newspaper or paper bag and keep it in the coldest part of your refrigerator. 
3. Do not freeze the lobster. 
4. Keep checking to see if the wrapping is still wet. In case it gets dry, damp it again and wrap it around the lobster. A lobster should never be dry. 
5. A lobster can be stored this way for upto 24 hours. 

How To Preserve Cooked Lobster:

1. You can preserve a whole cooked lobster without shelling it in the refrigerator. 
2. Whether it is the whole lobster or parts of it, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. 
3. Alternatively, you can also store it wrapped in foil, in the refrigerator. 
4. The lobster meat can be stored this way for upto two days. 
5. You can also freeze lobster meat for upto a month.
6. Lobster meat will stay fresh for a longer time if you freeze it after deshelling it. 

How To Check If Your Lobster Is Spoiled?

Sometimes, it does happen that you end up picking out the freshest of lobsters, however, something feels off about it. Even when you pick out the freshest ingredients, there is always that little chance of it being spoiled.

Like I said before, eating spoiled lobster meat can cause a lot of stomach issues and in some cases, also be lethal. So, in case you feel like your lobster might be spoiled, there are certain parameters given below. Based on these, you can check if the lobster is spoiled. 

1. Aroma

Lobster should technically smell like nothing. A fresh lobster will have a very neutral smell. In case you feel your lobster has any sort of pungent aroma, chances are, it is spoiled. 

2. Meat Texture

Sometimes, the aroma of the lobster may be fine, but it can still be spoiled. The best way to check is to feel the meat. In case it feels slimy or soft, the lobster has gone bad and should be thrown away. 

3. Color

Checking the color of the lobster is also a good way to tell if it is spoiled or not. In case you see any sort of discoloration on the lobster, like green or white colors, chances are it is spoiled.
