Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
To get the best results and to avoid overcooking/under cooking, we recommend you use a candy thermometer to ensure the internal temperature is 130 Degrees F. You can measure the internal temperature by inserting the thermometer where the tail and the body connect.
The average time is 10 minutes per pound size of lobster. So for a 2 pound lobster, 20 minutes. And for 4 pieces of 2 pound lobsters, still 20 minutes.
- 1 pound - 10 minutes
- 1.25 pound - 12 minutes
- 1.5 pounds - 15 minutes
- 2 pounds - 20 minutes
- 2.5 pounds - 25 minutes
- 3 pounds - 30 minutes
If they are larger lobsters, 3 pounds and above, stay with the 30 minutes. Steamed lobsters should be of the same relative size when cooking. So don’t mix a 1 pounder in with a bunch of 4 pounders.

As an expatriate of New England (Massachusetts and Maine) and an avid preparer & eater of fresh seafood all my life, I can categorically state that the shipment of lobsters and steamers we received last week from Intershell was the best we've ever had since I moved to the midwest 30 years or more ago. The lobsters were 2 1/2 pounders. They were lively, sweet, tender, and delicious. And despite their large size, the clams were clean (clear of grit) and *most importantly* tender and sweet. The seafood was very well packaged, arrived on time and, while not inexpensive, the price was competitive. The best seafood dinner we've had in years! We will definitely be ordering from you again!
I had you ship 12 lobsters to Texas to my son, we are from Newburyport Massachusetts. I cannot believe how they showed up there so fresh and alive on schedule. I cannot say enough good things about ordering from you. I highly recommend anyone to order from you. I love the fact that you called me after I placed the order to make sure about everything. The woman in the office was incredible. If I could give this 10 stars, I would thank you very much and I will be ordering from you again. -Joe
