That myth about the big ol' boys being tough is what
puts the per-pound price of the giants down. Hereabouts,
they're the best bargains. You do have to have the shop
steam them for you, because they're really too large to
fit properly in any sort of household boiling pot. Still,
that's just as well; you go off and do the rest of your
grocery shopping then come back for the lobster.

My experience has been that the big ones done up in a
steamer are quite tender, and in fact the huge claws
are particularly nice. It does take a bit of practice to
crack 'em.

We feed several people off of one of these giants, and
have enough left over for lobster roll next day...
