Make sure your catch of the day tastes as fresh as possible: When buying lobsters, look for ones that aren't lying idle in their tanks and have both of their claws. Grilling lobster is the easiest way to cook it. Just be sure to keep an eye on the grill. Overcooking can happen fast. As soon as the lobster has turned opaque, remove it from the heat. It will continue to cook a few more minutes in the hot shells. Lemon butter is the classic dipping sauce for luxurious lobster. We've swapped the butter for olive oil. You could add some finely chopped chives and parsley to the blend for added flavor.
