  1. Rock lobsters are handled and cooked much like northern lobsters. The most common cooking methods are steaming, simmering, and broiling.
  2. Tails to be broiled will be moister if poached 5 minutes before splitting and broiling.
  3. Tails steamed or simmered whole should have the shells split before serving as a convenience to the customer.
