Lobster are equipped with antennae on their head and small sensing hairs that cover their bodies with which they smell their food.A lobsters' sense of smell is so acute they can detect the amino acids being emmitted by their favorite foods.
 
Lobsters have both a crusher claw and a cutter claw which they are very good at using when they are eating fish,crabs,sea urchins,mussels,clams and of course other lobsters!
 
The teeth of a lobster are in the stomach of the lobster which is a short distance from the lobsters' mouth,the food is ground between three grinding plates called the gastric mill.
 

Some general lobster facts.

Lobsters are invertebrates,which means they have no backbones. Lobsters are from the Phylum Arthropoda and members of the Class Crustacea, commonly called crustaceans(meaning hard shell).
 
Lobsters nervous systems are primitive, as most all invertebrates. Lobsters have no cerebral cortex, so pain as we know it, does not exist for the lobster.
 
Lobsters are capable of regeneration, if a lobster loses a claw in a fight, it will grow back! Lobster may also spontaneously drop a claw, (known as reflex amputation), so try not to stress your lobster out before they get to the boiling pot.
 
The largest lobster on record weighed over 42lbs. Lobsters also come in a variety of colors such as blue, yellow and white but are mostly always green until they are cooked of course, then they turn a bright lobster red.
 
Due to the cooler waters of the Bay of Fundy, we have the largest average size lobsters at maturity. This may have something to do with the plentitude of herring in these waters as a diet, we have the richest tasting lobster meat in the world!
 
A lobster must grow 6-8 years from egg to legal harvest size. Here in the New Brunswick end of the Bay of Fundy that equals out to about a 1.75lb lobster.
 
Small lobsters molt about once a year and larger lobster molt every 3-4 years.
Molting is a process which allows a lobster to grow. During this process the lobster's
shell becomes like gelatin, eating soft shelled lobsters isn't so appealing. Good thing Bigfatlobster.com won't ever send you a soft shell lobster.
