Buy cooked lobster, fully-prepared and cooked to perfection. Each one of our whole lobsters is caught sustainably from the fresh waters of the Cornish coast in the UK. Once caught, the lobster is cooked and prepared by experts right on our premises. We steam all our lobsters whole to maintain their flavour and freshness.
Unlike many of our competitors, if you order FRESH lobsters from Fish for Thought, then we will send you FRESH lobsters. We will NEVER substitute frozen, or previously-frozen, lobsters. We pride ourselves on cooking ALL our native lobsters fresh to order on the premises. This allows for them to be frozen on receipt, should you wish to consume them at a later date.
When you order our cooked lobster from us, you will receive one whole cooked lobster. This lobster will contain white meat found in the tail and claws of the lobster. It will also have Tomalley. This is the soft green or red substance which is found in the body cavity of Lobsters that fulfills the function of both the liver and pancreas. The tomalley is perfectly safe to eat and is often considered a delicacy. It may be used in sauces for flavour and as a natural thickening agent or eaten alone.
What to expect when you buy a cooked Lobster:
- All our lobsters are pot-caught by small boats fishing the Cornish Coast
- We are 'Recommended' by the Cornwall Good Seafood Guide
- We are proud to support the Lobster Hatchery Buy-One-Set-One-Free Campaign
- Our cooked lobsters are an excellent source of Omega 3 oils and essential vitamins and minerals
- Each lobster is humanely prepared, cooked and dispatched with our very own 'crustastun'.

Please note: To ensure the juice within the crab claws keep the meat soft and moist, we do not crack the claws on our cooked Lobsters Please also note: The Lobster weight listed is 'live' weight. All Lobsters lose a small amount of weight once cooked. The general guideline would be for cooked lobster would be a loss of 10-15%.

Recipes & Cooking
Preparing a cooked lobster. Once you receive your lobster, we recommend storing it in the fridge until you are ready to eat it. Take a sharp knife, place it in the centre of the back of the lobster and split the lobster in half lengthways. Crack the claws and remove the meat from each one then carefully remove the meat from the tail, cut into chunks and put it all back in the shell to serve. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, some chunks of butter and season generously with pepper. Classic Thermidor https://www.fishforthought.co.uk/shop/chef-specials/thermidor-sauce is also hard to beat!

Sustainability & Provenance
We are really proud of the provenance and quality of our Cornish lobster. We have close relationships with a small number of fishermen and many of them land directly to us. Not only that we provide them with bait for their pots in the form of our fish frames and waste. This is a real win win as it eliminates the need for us to dispose of our waste and provides our fishermen with free bait. Read more

Wedding Anniversary Celebrations!
just thought I'd drop you a quick email to let you know our order arrived on Saturday morning. I opened the box and it smelled like Cornwall, the sea. The mussels were superb in the mariniere sauce and the lobster thermidor was fantastic! We were treating ourselves as it is our 26th wedding anniversary tomorrow and to be honest, we prefer to buy the very best ingredients and cook ourselves than go to a restaurant and be disappointed. We were delighted with the quality of the fish, as always.

Your Seafood is Fabulous
I have ordered many Lobsters from you and never been disappointed. This time I added mussels - I have to say they were the best mussels I have had since we lived in Nova Scotia - Indian Point were reputed to be the best in the world but yours more than matched them. Fabulous. Thanks once again, I look forward to ordering again very shortly.
