🦞 September 25th is National Lobster Day! 🦞
Did you know that September 25th is National Lobster Day? Here at JB Hook's, we are so excited about this holiday! Not only is the history of lobster as a dish interesting, but it's also a delicious seafood selection. In fact, we have the best lobster at the Lake of the Ozarks, so make sure to celebrate by checking out the rest of this blog and by coming to the restaurant to try for yourself!
Lobsters typically hide under rocks or in tight spaces on the ocean floor. They aren't particular about the type of ground in which they live - sand, rock, or mud.
Their diet consists of both plants and meat such as fish, mollusks, and worms. A somewhat frightening fact about lobsters is that they can resort to cannibalism when they are in captivity.
You may have had the chance to observe a lobster in a clear tank and noticed that they move by walking, as one would guess. However, if a lobster is trying to get away from a predator, they swim backward rapidly by curling their abdomens and tails. Talk about abs!
Lobsters enjoy a relatively long life in the wild of 40 to 50 years.
Lobster was not always the crave-inducing dish that it is today. In fact, lobsters didn't gain popularity until the 19th century. They used to be incredibly difficult to transport without spoiling before they reached their final destination.
For that reason, lobster was originally considered a food primarily eaten by those in poverty. In fact, many people preferred to never eat lobster - including prison inmates who used to be served lobster on a regular basis. How incredible is that!
An advance in technology changed all of that with a new kind of ship that allowed lobsters to be kept alive in the hull of the ship during transportation. Now fresh lobster is available across the country and highly sought after by people of all backgrounds.
Lobster is a versatile food that can be prepared a number of ways. The pure flavor of a lobster tail dipped in clarified butter can be a hard one to beat. It is also commonly served in soups, stuffings, on rolls, and in pasta.
