  • Method of vacuum packaging pre-cooked whole lobsters and the packages made therewith
    Patent number: 7597918
    Abstract: In a method for vacuum packaging a pre-cooked lobster, a bulge, and a horn-receiving notch in that bulge are formed of a plastic tray. The lobster is placed in this tray with a wrapping sheet over it. The bulge and the notch are formed so that the horn of the lobster extends substantially tangent with the wrapping sheet and with the surfaces of the notch. Vacuum is applied between the tray and the wrapping sheet to vacuum-pack the lobster into the tray, thereby enclosing the lobster in a sealed package, with the horn extending tangent to the surfaces of the package surrounding the horn.
