If you Want to Surprise this Christmas Dinner, Buy Lobsters!

By Shannon Linnen

When it's time to get ready for the holidays yet again, you may feel as if you've run out of fresh entertainment ideas. With so many parties and fundraisers and visits from family, it's almost impossible to please everyone and still have time for your family. Let alone buying gifts! It can seem like an impossible task, even when you try to schedule your time as well as possible. There are ways around these difficult time commitments however. Instead of trying to do something different for everyone, buy lobsters for everyone instead!

It may seem counter intuitive. To buy lobsters takes time and effort, so why would it make your entertaining issues any easier. Wouldn't it just make everything that much more complicated? Not in this brave new world of buying online? You'll be able to serve lobster at your dinner party with a click of a button. You can create a great lobster hors d'oeuvre for passing at a fundraiser without ever leaving home. And your mother in law will be amazed when you've got two pound beauties on the Christmas table, ready to be cracked.

When you thought it was time to buy lobsters a few years ago, you probably groaned. Especially so close to the holidays, buy the time you made it to the grocery store, they most likely only have the sorriest specimens left, and for more than you would want to pay. But being able to buy direct online has changed all that. Instead of making the snowy trek to the store, you can click away in your warm cozy house, picking the amount and size you'd like, and waiting for your next day delivery.

But how can you buy lobsters online fresh right now, when there is snow on the ground? That's one of the coolest innovations of buying online. During the season, lobsters are caught by fisherman and sold directly to buyers who transfer them to salt water holding tanks that mimic the ocean exactly. This allows the lobsters to grow and thrive as the winter goes on. So when you place your order, you'll know your lobsters are the freshest out there.

When you buy lobsters online, you'll be able to craft dishes that will delight at all of your many social engagements this holiday season. Need an appetizer for that dinner party? Try a warm and inviting lobster bisque. If you are ready to present the best appetizer ever, try a fresh lobster salad or ceviche, sure to brighten any holiday party. And if you're in the mood to really knock the socks off your friends and family, why not give them each a fresh steamed lobster, ready to crack into for a Christmas dinner.

Buy lobsters online and see the stress of the holiday season melt away as you're ready for every different party you've got going on. And as a gift this holiday season, why not send lobsters to your friends and family, to enjoy at their homes as well. You're sure to bring a smile to everyone's faces this year when lobster is your gift.
