Did you know?

Canadian Atlantic Lobster are truly fascinating creatures.

• No pain! The Atlantic Lobster does not feel pain when he immersed into hot water due to its decentralised nervous system (it has no brain, just a series of ganglia).
• No Steam scream! The Atlantic Lobster does not have any vocal cords and contrary to rumour it does not scream. The sound we hear when boiling lobster is only the steam escaping from the shell.
• To put a lobster to sleep, simply invert it onto its back for a few minutes. Some prefer to do this before placing lobster in the boiling water before cooking.
• Hard-shell Nutrition. While hard-shell lobster meat is considered to be the tastiest, it also proves to be the most nutritious. Soft-shelled lobsters lose nutrients as part of the moulting process and absorb considerable amounts of water. Hard-shelled Canadian Atlantic Lobster maintains all of its nutrition and provides the healthiest choice for consumers.
• The natural colour of a Canadian Atlantic Lobster will vary from blue-green to a rusty brown and can even be found with a blue or white (albino) shell. They will all turn red when cooked (except the white shelled lobster) and will afford the same great taste regardless of shell colour.
• Cannibalistic? Lobsters were once accused of being cannibalistic to their own species because of lobster shell found in their gut. It is now believed that the shell material was simply discarded shell from moulting. While lobsters may scavenge, it has been shown they prefer fresh food, which includes a fish, crabs, mussels and sea urchins.
• Lobsters do have teeth, however, instead of being found in the mouth they are found in the stomach.
• Foot Buds? Along with the mouthparts, lobster has taste organs located in the feet.
