R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Find out what that means to lobsters. This is what Whole Foods needs to know before they decide to allow the sale of live lobsters again. But while the company stresses "the importance of humane treatment and quality of life for all animals", the real gist of the ban is that Whole Foods wants us to lie to lobsters. What: American-owned Sette has brought a piece of New York City to its exclusive London location within the Bulgari Hotel. The lobster offering is an Italian-American classic - lobster tagliolini - that sees thin squid ink tagliolini tossed through a rich tomato, basil and lobster sauce, before being topped off with spicy basil pangrattato for a little extra texture and flavour. Lobster pasta really nails the middle ground between luxury and comfort, and pasta fans will be pleased to know that all the pasta is made in-house too. a b c d e f g h i j Lipke B. Holthuis (1991).

What: Scott’s is a high-end seafood specialist with a Champagne and oyster bar in Mayfair that happily includes a whole lobster section on their menu for when your cravings strike. There are loads of options, but have a look at the other tables and you'll likely see lots of grilled lobster, dripping in garlic butter. Scott's are kind enough to supply a few vegetables on the side to make you feel slightly better about your indulgence. If you're further west, head to Scott's Richmond, which is equally fantastic but with riverside views.

Retrieved December 3, 2013.The natural diet of H.americanus is relatively consistent across different habitats. It is dominated by mollusks (especially mussels, clams and snails), echinoderms and polychaetes, although a wide range of other prey items may be eaten, including other crustaceans (such as crabs), brittle stars, cnidarians and small fish. [43] It will also feed on dead animals, as well as algae and eelgrass. [44] Since lobsters sometimes eat their own molted shell, they were thought to be cannabalistic, but this has never been recorded in the wild. [45] Lobsters in Maine have been shown to gain 35–55% of their calories from herring, which is used as bait for lobster traps. [46] Only 6% of lobsters entering lobster traps to feed are caught.

One common way of serving lobster 'tail' (actually the abdomen) is with beef, known as surf and turf. [59] Lobsters have a greenish or brownish organ called the tomalley, which, like the liver and pancreas in a human, filters out toxins from the body. [60] Some diners consider it a delicacy, but others avoid it because they consider it a toxin source; dislike eating innards; or are put off by its texture and appearance, that of a grainy greenish paste.

To protect known breeding females, lobsters caught carrying eggs are to be notched on a tail flipper (second from the right, if the lobster is right-side up and the tail is fully extended). Following this, the female cannot be kept or sold, and is commonly referred to as a "punch-tail" or as "v-notched". This notch remains for two molts of the lobster exoskeleton, providing harvest protection and continued breeding availability for up to five years.
