Serves 50

I attended a friend's lobster fest recently. She hired a lobster fisherman friend to steam 50 lobsters for the party. Not hard when you have the right equipment. The lobsters were perfect! Of course this was held outdoors and a site to see about 30 people enjoying themselves while eating the lobsters! Read more ! You get the idea of how to steam them and of course one may use a smaller pot, less lobsters etc See less

Do you recall how large, in gallons, the pot was? I hope to try this recipe this summer for a family reunion and I'll need to make sure I buy the right size pot for fifty lobsters. If you knew the specifics of the burner used that would be helpful too. Thank you!
