No orders taken on Saturday or Sunday for next-day delivery. A lobster must shed its shell in order to grow. This process is called molting. It takes about 20 molts over 5-7 years for a lobster to become an adult. When the old shell is shed, the lobster is then called a new shell lobster.
Some people prefer eating new shell lobsters because the meat is tender, sweet, and easy to eat.
You don't need any tools to crack them apart. New shell lobsters are usually harvested from July to October. Atwood Lobster Co. All Rights Reserved.
