The highest grade is hard shell grade A and commands the highest price.
When
the smaller Maine lobsters start to molt, throwing off their old shell
and growing a new one. the summer Maine lobsters are softer with less
meat and command a lower price because their quality compared to hard
shelled lobsters that have not molted.
There are a great many
Maine lobsters landed during the summer and the market reacts by
splitting the prices and quality into several grades.
The lesser grades are all scaled by firmness and vitality,
The next grade A/B is still proportionally a hard lobster but some
Grade B is included because they get by the graders (it's very hard to
tell when you are grading thousands of lobsters a day). Grade B
lobsters have already molted some time ago and now and are reforming a
harder shell but it contain more meat than shedders. Not as much as
the A+ grade.
Now come the Maine lobsters that have shed recently.
They are split into two industrial grades called Markets (to be sold to
customers) and Canners (lobsters of such low quality that they are all
cooked for meat at processing plants)
Markets can come in various
degrees of quality. Some cook up just fine. Some cook up mushy.
Mortality in shipping is high. So whole sellers take their chances
buying B, B/C and C grades. Sometimes they are called beer can lobsters
because you can squeeze them like a beer can. Some times they are
referred to as junk that should have gone to the canneries. They are
often sold locally, so shipping time is not a problem. But they do not
travel well and have little meat in them and they more than likely cook
up mushy and soggy. They are not worth buying for quality functions. In fact
entire lobster parties have been ruined because they received low
quality lobsters. You should not buy by price, you should get to know
and trust your lobster dealer.
Our company New England Provisions
switched to shipping only Grade A and it has made our business easier
to do because of no complaints. Always call a week
before you order to see what the market is doing. We can then be
prepared for your order and select your lobster to be set aside the day
before shipping. If you have the room in your refrigerator or your
garage is 45-50 degrees, you should request delivery the day before you
are going to eat them. Weather plays a big part in shipping by air
because of storm delays.
