to taste salt
12 live lobsters, shedders if available (about 1 1/2 pounds each)

1
Place onions, carrots, and celery in a large stockpot. Make a bouquet garni: Gather thyme, parsley, and bay leaf; tie into a bundle with kitchen string, then add to the stockpot. Fill stockpot two-thirds full with cold water; set over high heat. Bring to a boil.

4
Depending on size of stockpot, quickly add 4 to 6 lobsters to boiling court-bouillon, making sure the liquid covers all the lobsters.
5
Allow court-bouillon to return to a boil again, and cook lobsters about 12 minutes.
6
Using tongs, remove lobsters, and transfer to a platter or large bowl.
7
Repeat with remaining lobsters, working in batches if necessary.
8
Using kitchen scissors, trim the tip of each lobster claw; allow the liquid to drain, and discard.
9
Serve lobsters with melted butter and lemons.
