Ingredients Seafood Steamed Lobster and Corn for a Crowd Be the first to rate & review! Lobsters are about 30% meat by weight, so go for the slightly larger 1 1/2-pound ones, and plan for about two lobsters per person. Look for lobsters from Maine, which are harvested sustainably. Standard 12-quart stockpots hold only three to four lobsters, so use a 16-quart pot, which holds six to eight.
