Choose your lobster carefully

Set the mood

A lobster dinner is something to be celebrated with the perfect ambiance. Depending on how you choose to prepare your lobster recipe, you may require a large amount of space to share a large platter. For this reason, it is often best to keep table decorations to a minimum and opt for warm lighting to set the mood.

Pair your lobster recipe with wine

A beautiful seafood dinner such as a lobster dish can be paired with a dry white wine to compliment the fresh seafood flavor. Pairing your lobster recipe with wine is a great way to show that you've made an effort to create the ultimate dining experience.

Opt for a mess-free lobster dish

Although lobster is often associated with cracking shells with heavy-duty tools and dipping the meat in melted butter, you may want to consider a more tidy dish like our stuffed lobster recipe for a holiday meal. Alternatively, you can prepare for a special evening by opening the shells for your dinner date, before their arrival.
