Staying in for New Year and decided to make Lobster & frites. Checked out the fish monger at Borough Market and he put aside two nice lads. On the way home I realised I'd forgotten to get them cleaned - bugger. I'm used to a nice pink split in half preparation and was now faced with two very alive wriggling lobsters to deal with, or set free in the dock :). Cue frantic google searches.
Read a bunch of sites and decided on the deep freeze method which is supposed to quieten them down and then the knife in the head. It worked I guess, it didn't feel very nice to watch something die and I don't know if I'd forget to have them despatched by a professional again.
So for next time, if there is a next time here are the links I used :
