If you’re a vegan, or animal rights activist against seafood consumerism and consumption, now is the best time for you to click the back button on your browser and leave this how-to at once (but thanks for stopping by!). Okay, so if you’re still reading this I assume you looovvee the mouth-watering and heavenly taste of a lobster tail lightly spritzed with tangy lemon juice and dunked in warm, drawn butter. If so, read and watch on my fellow lobster lovah!
For some, killing and cooking a live lobster can be intimidating. After all, most of us aren’t like the contestants on Top Chef, right?! If you enjoy chowing down on America’s “favorite crustacean” you can easily do so from the comfort of your own home and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg either (although, it will cost the lobster some legs and two meaty claws…and a tail).
Since the onset of the Great Recession, the market price for fresh Maine lobsters has become an affordable luxury for us common folk. Kind of funny, since lobsters were considered “poor man’s” grub since the early days of the New England colonies and as recent as the 1950′s! Our “select” sized live lobsters (1.5 lbs/each) were purchased at a seafood market in New York City’s Chinatown for about $6.50 per pound. The friendly Chinese fish mongers even threw in (quite literally) a bunch of scallions for that price. Gotta love New Yawk!
Okay, yes, the idea of killing and cooking a live lobster may be a wee fretful but you’ll soon get over it. In addition to the yumminess factor, eating lobster can be beneficial to your health as well. After all, lobster is all protein (no carbs!), low-cal and rich in zinc, potassium, vitamins A, B, B12, D and vital Omega-3 fatty acids. So, warm a pot, tie on a bib and get crackin’ to a healthier you.
Health tip: Now just don’t get too crazy with that butter!

Get aids and fcking die
Ich find das echt krank….
Whew, that’s a lot of frackin’ work…..I’m exhausted just listening to this. I prefer Seafood Sam’s. I walk in, sit down, and a few minutes later a cute waitress puts the red devil in front of me. AH, WHAT FOOD THESE MORSELS BE !
People should leave the Oceans Cockroaches alone. we need them to eat all the muck. YUCK!!!
Get over it.

KIND OF COOL FEELING BURNING THE SKIN, really.TRIED I T AND WILL SOON OPEN A CHANNEL HERE SHOWING THE COMFORTS OF LIVING WITH ALMOST NO SKIN. THE ONLY THING DISTURBING ME IS THAT MY SEXY GIRLFRIEND JUST SEPERATED FROM ME, cause SHE THINKS I AM DEAD-UGLY. ANYWAY, the FAME EXPECTING ME IS SURE . GET YOUR SKIN OFF, people; IF THE LOBSTER CAN DIG IT YOU WILL ALSO BE ABLE .
I don’t know what your babbling about. Killing lobsters is mean. But they taste so good.
Um Who is the DORK?
Lmfao playing with the lobster
eating lobster eyes my uncle eats fish eyes hmm hes italian rite my uncle is too im not but u cant tell
Great video! I really enjoyed it and will try this at home – given I’m able to get a nice lobster. One Question: Why do you put the lobster in the pot head first? And to those whining: Well, if you eat things that are normally alive (as almost everything we do eat is), you’ve to kill it some point along the way. That’s live…
unsubscribed after months of being a subsciber I eat meat, but I take no pleasure in how they are killed, Id rather it be as humane as possible you bastards are sick and sadistic, hope you die you ugly bitch
“Among other things, lobsters eat crabs, sea stars, sea urchins, plankton, and fish. They are not by nature cannibalistic, except when held in crowded conditions (traps, pounds, etc.). Even with banded claws, it’s still not unusual to find partially eaten animals in the live-tank when it’s emptied.” I suspect they also eat human remains, as crabs do.
You don’t feel like the lobster feel?! Very hot boiling a LIVE lobster??? You don’t know what god will make to you?
Most people don’t care nor think that God cares about a lobster.
why don’t you just eat em alive? sounds as humane as this.
Eating something alive is a lot more cruel, and poisonous. Would you like to die in 5 minutes, or live for an hour as someone slowly eats you.
i guess you are not made to sense the irony at sight gormanmod. at least your heart is in the right place. peace.
All I’m saying is that a lobster is no sentient being. only sentient species can actually show some intelligent response to pain. If you hurt a lobster, it hurts you back. if you hurt an elephant, in wants to know why you hurt it. if you are its friend, it may even forgive you or show signs of confusion at your betrayal. A lobster will just get pissed and hurt you back as is its stimuli response to do so.
yeah a century ego herbs are claimed not to feel or sense anything and animals only move by instincts, no thinking at all. they also “cured” mental patients by cutting parts from their brain and skull. i’ll stick with my conscience rather than science for now. thank you anyway.
Animals do move by instinct. They’ve just discovered now that man is no different, not something special. If you were born somewhere, your environment creates your instinct to do certain things. Also, if you cut off the part of the brain that causes a problem, you no longer have that problem. Today we sever the right and left brain to stop epilepsy, and it works with few consequences. You feeling something is wrong or barbaric doesn’t change the fact that it’s true and works.
I dont see whats cruel. People have to eat?
I wonder what Lobsters eat. And do they kill what they eat before eating them?
Nice faces, disgusting minds.
LOL Cool video
I agree with headmase. not only is this animal cruelty but you seem to be enjoying your cruelty immensely.
Great video! I love you Michelle, you know I do… but I really miss Alex’s witty and acerbic commentaries on politics and finances. Any chance of him throwing in a few new ones (plus he’s really hot too, just like you)?! Pretty pleasssssse???
{oo}
Yum Yum!
Next vid; how to cook a live michelle? You are nuts!
LMAO the lobsters a retard??? LMAO
I could NOT do that! I’d feel too guilty. All the way through this video I was thinking “That poor lobster!”
sad how people have to spam friend requests to get people to watch their vids… 1 star
