Cooking lobster

[RBirns]

Some lobster recipes recommend cooking them in seawater for best flavor.

Would some freshly mixed aquarium water work?

I tried that with a crab once. It tasted kind of weird - real seawater tastes different from salt mix.

You should be OK just using table salt.

cook it in 50% water, 50% sprite/7up and cut 2-4 lemons in half and put it in the pot (depending on volume and amount of lobsters)

Steam them with white wine 50/50 water with added kosher salt. DO NOT OVERCOOK they will get tough.

Lol...

Out of curiosity why are you asking on this forum? (Don't wana sound like I am being a smart a**) Just wondered if you have one in your tank you are mad at lol or just thought it a convenient place to ask?

I figured everyone reading this forum has a saltwater tank, so someone was likely to have an answer.

Haha sorry that is kind of a funny question in this forum. Anyways, I'm not sure you'd want all those extra trace minerals going into your body like the elevated calcium, magnesium, iodine etc.

I think it's best going with just plain iodized salt too And as FishyNut says, DON'T overcook!!
