Red Color of Cooked Lobster a Symbol of Happiness at Wedding Banquet.
Cooked Lobster Cut Into Manageable Pieces for Convenience of Wedding Guests.
Cooked lobster becomes a red lobster and the red lobster is served at a wedding banquet as a symbol of happiness.
Other dishes on a wedding menu are symbolic, besides the red lobster. Suckling pig is served as a symbol of virginity;
sharks fin as wealth, and noodles for longevity. Where lobster is not available another red dish is served. Fish is served at a wedding as a symbol of plenty. It is said that in ancient times, where fish was not available
or not affordable, a wooden fish was carried to the table, with all due ceremony. Lobster would be a far scarcer dish to serve in isolated areas inland. There are many ways to cook lobster but surely the greater enjoyment is eating lobster cooked by others!

The picture on the left is part of a dish of lobster served at a wedding reception, as a symbol of happiness. The symbol is not the lobster itself but the color red that the lobster becomes when it is cooked. The cooked lobster was cut into managable portions so extracting the lobster meat presented no problems for the wedding guests
