Whole Foods let you pick out your lobster, then take it and place it into a machine called the CrustaStun , throw a switch, and electrocute it in front of you.

I bought it cooked from a farmers market. The rubber luckily didn't change the taste. I'll keep that in mind if I ever get to cook my own though, thaks!
Looks like you got a "chicken" (1 to 2 pounds) they are the best! I would rather let the old boys keep up the population than eat them. Tough and I grew up in a New England seafood restaurant. We refused to carry anything bigger.
