Lobster Love from Bloomex

Those who love lobster, really LOVE LOBSTER! This succulent and tasty seafood is now considered a popular delicacy. It wasn't always so. From the 1600s to the early 1800s and beyond in some areas, lobster was so plentiful and relatively misunderstood that it was considered a food fit for the poor or for prisoners. 

Not so anymore! During the 1800s with the increasing use of the train, lobsters were served in the dining car and brought farther inland to new audiences. The popularity of lobster increased as more people discovered this tasty treat. 

By the 1850s and 60s lobster was being served in the salad section of most restaurants. While demand increased, its abundance in the sea declined and over time lobster became more of a gourmet delicacy enjoyed by the upper classes. 

 



Now Bloomex has been able to source delicious lobster and provide it to you at incredible prices! What is usually reserved only for special occasions has now become more accessible. Bloomex lobster is caught fresh off the Canadian Northwest Atlantic coast (zone 21), expertly cooked in the shell, flash frozen and delivered directly from our Halifax facility to your doorstep.

Send this sweet and succulent taste of fresh lobster for a unique and delightful gift, or enjoy it for yourself. Lobster meat is rich and savory and more substantial than most fish. Serve it with clarified butter and this melt-in-your mouth treat becomes a gourmet meal that will earn rave reviews! 

Twenty Fresh Lobsters

Bloomex offers lobster in a range of quantities, from one to twenty for your ultimate lobster-party treat. 

Wine and Lobster Basket

You can also enjoy this delicious lobster in the Bloomex Wine and Lobster Basket. This amazing basket is like your gourmet meal in a box, including two fresh cooked lobsters, a bottle of French red wine, delectable gourmet snacks and treats for dessert. 

So get out those bibs or uncork that wine and tuck into some fresh, succulent Bloomex lobster! 

P.S. Lobster makes the ultimate holiday gift!

The Top 5 Thanksgiving Hostess Gifts

Thanksgiving is fast approaching in Canada, and traditionally, this means visiting with friends and family and sitting down to a yummy turkey dinner with all the trimmings. 

If you are lucky enough to be invited to someone's home for this Thanksgiving (or at any time of year) it's traditional etiquette to bring a gift of some kind, rather than showing up empty-handed. The host or hostess was kind enough to invite you and has gone to considerable time and effort preparing their home and the meal. If you are invited to a dinner party, a special event, or especially if invited to an overnight stay, presenting a gift upon arrival is the way to go. But what to bring?

Gift giving may have cultural considerations, but generally you can't go wrong with edible gifts of fairly mainstream food selections. You might want to ensure that your hosts enjoy sweets or chocolate, and if not, then go for other foods. And of course, the safest and loveliest gift is flowers or plants. Flowers are pretty much universally accepted gifts that are sure to be appreciated by your hosts.  For holiday events, it's an even nicer gesture if you can keep your selection in keeping with the season. 

Here are some top ideas for Thanksgiving host/hostess gifts, that are easy to bring and also easy on your wallet:

1. Gourmet Collection 1 Gift Basket 

This is one of the best deals around, featuring an assortment of decadent treats such as chocolate, tea, coffee, cheeses, nuts, seafood, crackers, all attractively packaged for you. It's also on sale for half price, which makes it all the more attractive! For only $25.00 you have a fantastic gift that is sure to please, and you can arrive guilt-free. 

2.Chocolate & Cookie Lover Gift Basket

Your hosts are sure to appreciate a sweet treat that they can enjoy after the guests go home! If you know that they eat sweets then this is an excellent choice and great bang for your buck at only $39.99.

3.Golden Days Basket 

 This is the perfect choice for any Thanksgiving or fall event! This is a perfectly presented basket full of fall flowers that will lend instant autumn beauty to any home...and it's only $39.99, though it looks twice the price! Absolutely gorgeous! 

4. Burst of Autumn Bouquet 

This is a vibrant mix of spectacular fall flowers, specially designed for the season. Your hosts are going to love this as it is sure to give any table a designer look! (And it looks way more expensive than it's price tag, which is only $29.99!)
