Should frozen lobster tails smell fishy?

This spice blend is primarily savory, with just a hint of brown sugar to offset the salt, herbs and spices. Alcohol, in contrast, is a volatile chemical that lowers the boiling point of water. Even a large amount dissolved in the water will usually make only small changes in the boiling point. Are Butterball turkeys injected with butter?;No, there isn't actual butter in Butterball turkeys It's okay if you've asked yourself if Butterball turkeys actually contain butter. It makes sense, because the word butter is in the name after all. And generally speaking, butter makes everything taste better.
