Lobster Warning

[Bill Miller]

What's worse than lobster on your piano?  Crabs on your organ.

Only amateurs have drawn butter on lobster.

With airplanes real 🦞 is available almost anywhere today.  Spent last September in New Brunswick and DW had lobster 4 times.  Once was enough for me.   Agree with the drawn butter requirement.

 

Monkfish if soaked in drawn butter is pretty good. 

You do know that they didn’t “fly” the lobster anywhere if you were eating it in NB. It was probably in the water the same day your DW ate it!!  
 

And “flown” lobster is NOT the same.

Great point!  I buy the lobster Sunday morning.  If I just want the meat the store I go to will steam it for me.  At any rate the trash goes out Sunday night…no fuss no muss!

Really?  And what would you suggest?

I like the lobster served on cruise ships. I like to dip my lobster in drawn butter. I also prefer my lobster roll made with drawn butter and not mayo. I eat my lobster my way.

It is a miniature lobster designed for a kids goldfish tank. 🙂

Japanese?  Like Bonsai trees?  That’s cool!  I knew from the size it could not be a regular lobster.  Figured 11/12 to the pound shrimp.

With the size of the new Celebrity lobster, it’s less a roll and more a cracker.

Surely you at least fill it with vegetables so the meal doesn't look so tiny on that huge plate.

That’s a one floret lobster!

More room for dessert.

Order 3 of them and make a lobstah cocktail.

This is not good, because one of the reasons to do that is to reuse the tail shell to plate the next lobster plate...

You know, lostchild, conspiracy theories these days never cease to astonish me. But now you've just hit a new low with me.

You eat the lobster meat as is. The flavor of lobster should be by itself.  Come on, you’re from MA. Eat lobster meat as is, not drowned in butter. 
 

I’ll  pick up 2 4 pound lobsters on Friday and grill them. Come over and I’ll show you how good they taste without butter. 😊

Is that an open invite for the rest of us, Sox Fan Cruiser? 🙂

If you are in Boston, sure!  I’ll set up my own shore excursion where I grill up lobsters and show you all how to eat them. And there will be no drawn butter!  🤪.

I make an awesome Lobster risotto and lobster pasta and lobster roll on sour dough for the days after.

Did the lobster eat the rest of the dish?

Well thank you Sox Fan!  As a former Chef I have cooked lobster every way imaginable.  The last time I grilled a lobster it was a 6 lb. monster.   My favorite method is baked stuffed with fresh crab meat from Maine…and yes…butter!

I actually pour a little drawn butter and then mix the lobster meat with a little mayonnaise, chopped celery and a bit of celery salt.  This makes a great lobster salad or lobster roll.

Then I’ll buy the lobster and you cook it for me!🤪
 

(and I also use butter in the cooking, usually a compound butter of some sort.  But I don’t just dunk my beautiful lobster meat in a bowl of melted butter). 😛

Thank you. I just sent it to her….. will let you know if I receive a response.

I described the lobster on the plate 2 weeks ago on Beyond as "pitiful" once shelled.   It was the size of two of my fingers.   And what is with the blob of rice and one broccoli?    On a so-called LUXURY cruise, you should be able to get two lobster tails in your already-paid cruise fare.   I could maybe, possibly, see charging for more than that.   

 

I can order 3 plates of short rib or whatever, but not 2 tiny lobster tails.   

 

And I agree, I like them plain with the slight taste of salty sea water!   Grilled is even better!   

 

When I do a NE/Canada cruise, I eat lobster in every port.   It's a fun and attainable goal!  😁
