For the Love of Lobsters, Valentine’s Day Ideas

There is a lot to love about lobster, it is one of the most requested meals for Valentine’s Day! We’ll be providing some deliciously romantic lobster inspiration for every home cook’s level of kitchen expertise. 

How did lobster become the #1 meal on Valentine’s Day? 

A recent Harris Poll (market research consulting firm) asked 1000 adults whether lobster was ‘the food of romantics on Valentine’s Day’ and over 60% of the respondents said yes! But, how did this humble shellfish become the desire of all V-day plates? Well, there may be a few cupid culprits… Professional chefs attribute lobster’s love appeal to the intimacy of the dining experience, being a hand-held, sharable meal. Nutritionists credit the omega-3 fatty acids and their libido boosting properties towards lobster’s Valentine’s popularity. And, lastly, historians rely on ancient mythology. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was born of the sea and, by association, all the oceanic critters are symbols of love.
