Lobster, along with caviar, is one
of the last bastions of luxury, the ultimate Christmas treat. Think of
proper, old-school lobster
Thermidor, bubbling with cheesy sauce. There’s a Christmas Eve
supper to warm the cockles like a cashmere sweater for the soul. And
if prices can make you choke on your blinis, bear in mind the
crustaceans are a wild food that need catching individually in baited
traps, or “pots”, and that it takes at least four years for a lobster
to grow to minimum legal size (87mm from the eyes to the base of the tail....).
