Looking to impress family and friends without going into too much trouble, preparing lobster tails is the way to go!
Lobster tails are a good alternative to whole live lobsters and taste just as good. They are easily obtainable and are easy to prepare.
Initially lobster was the food of choice for sailors and fishermen. Today, lobster is a delicacy served in some of the finest restaurants in the country and they do not come cheap. Instead of eating at a restaurant, one can purchase lobsters and prepare them in the comfort of their own homes.
One can either buy, and prepare, whole lobster or they may purchase the tails. Nevertheless it is important to understand that a whole lobster is expensive.

It all depends on individual preference.
