Lobster

[pippins1]

Can anyone advise me on how to cook fresh lobster please.
Many thanks

[ummmm]

Container was probably the wrong word. On a tray, plucked, gutted and wrapped.

I am so disappointed. Only the "rest" of my post is twaddle. Yet I tried so hard to make it ALL twaddle. I think I'm due a refund from my private twaddle tutor.

I'm not overly excited by lobster but I am really beginning to fancy some now, the mention of aioli has really swung it!

[humbersloop]

Just how sustainably are they fishing those lobster to get them in at that price clannad?

Some things cost money for a reason

Nothing like a properly roasted and rested venison, fgt, I agree.

LOL @ mike.
I have never seen it packed like that either ummmm.

[ummmm]

You must try harder, Mick, and keep working on it :-)

[ummmm]

I bought it from a farmer in a village pub.

I have just noticed the post enquiring whether MarkRae is a famous cook. Indeed he is - other Abers, more knowledgeable than me, have testified to his prowess in the salad sphere.

I believe that lobster can only be caught and eaten at a certain weightage and in Wales we visited a Lobster farm that is working hard to put lobsters back in british water.

Lol I could not remember how to spell the posh garlic mayo!!

Big LOL @ mike.

Ummmm I bought it from a farmer in a village pub

I love lobster - but hate the UK price (in restaurants at least).

I did have a trip to New England where (after about ten days) I was at last heard to say "I'm bored with lobster, can we have something else tonight" - but was back in a shack on the dock the next night ... nothing better.

they put some 20k weeny ones into the waters off Plymouth the week before last, fgt.......bring on the 2-3 pounders! Aioli is the posh stuff.

The lobster glut in New England is typically cyclical... and these cheap ones are the soft shell variety, which are also typically less expensive since they have less meat. But, good news, nonetheless.

We visit Maine (especially Bar Harbor) as often as possible... not just for the lobster though (or in down-east Maine speak, 'lobstah')...

"...in Wales we visited a Lobster farm..."

Is there no end to the ingenuity of the Welsh? Having exhausted the potential of sheep they are now going in for the really kinky stuff.

[friedgreentomato]

get stuffed mike and go and leave your comments else where!

[tonyav]

DT, have you seen the lobster tanks in Padstow ?

[ummmm]

It's true Arksided.

[mike11111]

Well that's me told!
