Buonissimo deliver the Blue Lobster as fresh as possible: LIVE !

Known as the European lobster or common lobster, is a species of clawed lobster from the eastern Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and parts of the Black Sea. It is closely related to the American lobster, H. americanus. It may grow to a length of 60 cm (24 in) and a mass of 6 kilograms (13 lb), and bears a conspicuous pair of claws. In life, the lobsters are blue, only becoming "lobster red" on cooking.

The Blue Lobster, or "European lobster", is traditionally "highly esteemed" as a foodstuff and is considered to have a better flavour than the American Lobster. The claws and the abdomen of the blue lobster contain "excellent" white meat, and most of the contents of the cephalothorax are edible.
