Need recipe on making lobster.

[Brigandier]

Those are the people I remind that evolutionary speaking, lobsters are pretty much in the same general lineage as cockroaches 😉

I think this every time I eat lobster. "I wonder what cockroach tastes like? Probably the same, except smaller. I wonder how much lobster I'd have to include to call cockroaches lobster nuggets?"

The fancy sushi place near my apartment has lobster sashimi. It was alive like 2 minutes before they bring it to your table and it is still moving.

A nice way to grill lobster is to first remove the tail. Take a pair of kitchen shears and cut the top of the tail shell lengthwise down the middle towards the tail until just before the last segment. Use a butter knife to lossen the meat from the shell. Pull the shell apart and lift the lobster meat so it sits on top of the shell and push the shell halves back together. Place it on grill, shell side down, and baste with melted butter every few minutes until done, about 7 - 10 minutes depending on the size of the lobster.

Ya know... Someone had to be real hungry to find out how tasty that animal is. I mean look at it, would you just be walking along and say "Hey, I think I'm going to eat that."

Boiling doesn't take long. Maybe 6 minutes?

Meh, Chinese people eat anything.

I had a McLobster Roll once in Connecticut - just because it was on the menu and I had to see it to believe it.

It had the texture and taste of real lobster. But now you have me wondering if the Lobster McNugget actually comes from... no. Can't be.

I can't tell if the whole sand cooking was a serious comment 😕

done it a few times with crabs fresh caught on the tide exposed reef coast, should work the same with lobsters.


Just remember to rinse 😛

 

[rasczak]

anyone of the suggestions is a great way to go. just be careful of over cooking it. once it's overcooked, it's like eating the sole of a shoe.

for the dip i use a combo of butter, soy sauce and garlic.

Sounds like too much work when you can just boil them 😀

If you're ordering them from Maine, see if you can get some clams to steam with the lobsters... Steaming clams is pretty easy and I actually like them better than lobster. I prefer a beer like Miller Light to go with american seafood....though it wouldn't be my #1 pick most other times.

One tip....if you're going to steam them, drop them in a separate pot of boiling water for a quick kill (or do the knife trick)...then move them to a steamer pot a minute or so later. Many of the lobster pounds in Maine will actually boil them in seawater for more flavor. You could salt your water with sea salt or kosher salt for a similar effect...sort of like a crawfish boil. You don't want to season the water too much though because you could negatively influence the flavor of the meat...it's almost better to go simple and let lemon and butter do their thing after the cooking is done.

First you fatten it up for a week on a diet of steak and potatoes. Then one night you set a nice warm bath for it. Once that's done it's ready to eat!

you lose a lot of the sweetness of the meat when you boil. That is why steaming is superior.

Few months ago, I had 8 whole Maine lobsters in one sitting...(burp)

I might pick one up. I have only ever had lobster tail is that the only edible part?

No, the claws have some good meat. The legs and body do too, it's just a lot more work to get it out.

I think I had steak when I was seven...


I would suggest you go to Cantonese restaurant with some friends and order the ginger and green onion stir fried lobster.

this guy should have invested in a Chinese clever.


More authentic, except this guy does not starch it like the Cantonese people do.

cut in half (head first, humane)
rip claws off
grill over oak (crack a hole in each claw first, claws take longer so put them on first)
apply lemon-garlic butter liberally while grilling
eat

I was reading somewhere last night about how that actually doesn't do much. Apparently those little buggers have multiple brains...
