There aren’t many foods that can compare with lobster when it comes to over-the-top luxury. Yes, it’s expensive (since it’s always in demand, producers can charge what the market will bear). But it’s a worthwhile indulgence, especially when you have a romantic dinner in mind (for Valentine’s Day or any day). No matter how you prepare lobster—boiled with clarified butter, broiled with herbs and garlic, or folded into a tropical salad, it’s lushly flavorful. Nothing else has its uniquely sweet quality and smooth texture.

When you’re buying lobster, it’s best to buy a live one, so you know you’re getting peak freshness. And if you’re not sure how to correctly prepare a live lobster, we’ve included a step-by-step tutorial that will teach you exactly how to boil a lobster. (Turning a snapping foe into a dinner to write home about is easier than you think.) Intimidated by live lobster? Most seafood markets sell lobster tails and chopped lobster meat, so ask your fishmonger for assistance.

Once dinner is served  all you’ll have on your mind is savoring what’s on your plate, and savoring the company of the special someone you cooked this luxurious dinner for.
