If you are not lucky enough to live in a state that has lobster fisherman walking down the streets as heroes, then you do not know what real lobster is. All of that imitation canned stuff loses its taste when it�s mixed in with the other chemicals in the plant. The dead frozen ones are stiff as a rock when they arrive and you can sometimes taste the ice box it came in. The best way to get lobster is for it to be live and shipped to you. There are some secrets though when wanting to get live lobster shipped to your home.

First of all, make sure that you are getting live lobster shipped from a place that is actually known for good lobster. Sure, it may be cheaper to get live lobster shipped from Zaire, but that wont compare in taste to lobster that has been caught in Maine. It�s obvious that you want to buy good lobster, which is why you didn�t just go to the store and buy it from the filthy tanks they keep them in, so spend the extra cash and get something good.

Live lobster is shipped in coolers or crates and thus has a very short lifespan when living in the box. You will probably get a confirmation email from the company you ordered from telling you when your lobsters will arrive on your front doorstep. Make sure you are there. Live lobster that has been baking under the sun all day long while you were at work is not going to taste good or be worth the cost of shipping.

Live lobster shipped overseas may experience some problems as well. Some countries may have high tariffs and taxes with live shipped animals or food, so watch out for that. Also, if you order lobster from a little known country or province, there is a chance that the health codes over there are not as strict as in Maine or Washington State. Remember that lobsters are still crustaceans and are susceptible to the diseases of any animal.

As you can see, getting live lobster shipped can be very easy, but you must keep these things in mind before ordering anything live to come to your home. Remember too that live lobsters are not dangerous when they get shipped to your home, as the pinchers will be rubber banded shut. That doesn�t mean though, that they are safe to keep as pets.
