What is Lobster?

Lobsters are a seafood and crustacean, meaning they are of a particular class of shelled invertebrate and edible. They can grow large, but most eating lobsters have a body of three inches or more, not including tail and claws. The cooked lobster has a red shell with white tender meat in its body, legs and claws. The meat is similar to shrimp in consistency, with a softness and crunch. The flavor is mild and sweet with a buttery edge.

water

Water is a substance and chemical compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen. It is clear, fluid, flavorless and odorless. Water is a necessity in nearly every aspect of life, including cooking, baking and hydrating the human body. Water can be served as a cold beverage, or at any temperature comfortable to the mouth and skin.

salt

Salt is a mineral composed mostly of sodium chloride. It is the main flavoring used in food and is naturally occurring in certain foods, such as cheese, beets, meat and celery, plus many others. Salt is white and has finer granules than sugar. Many commercial salts include iodide, while others exclude it. Most salts are white, while some are naturally pale pink with minerals. Salt brings out the flavor of something and can create a tangy mouthfeel, if used in excess.
