Whole Lobsters (Homarus Americanus) from North West Atlantic. A decadent dish for a special dinner.
Cooked and ready to reheat. Defrost and serve, or can be reheated. This will take a little trouble in the preparation, but worth every minute. Follow instructions carefully for a really impressive dish.
2 x 350g (12oz)
Two lobsters will give you 4-5 oz of meat from each.
Best used as an impressive starter, or part of a light dinner.
Defrosting and preparation.
Allow the lobsters to defrost fully, overnight (or 4-5 hours) in a refrigerator (with something to catch the melted protective glaze)
The lobster has meat mostly in the tail, but with the tastiest bits from the claws, and if thick enough, the legs. You will need to take off the meaty limbs and cut the lobster in two.
On a heavy wooden board, place the lobster belly down. Use a large heavy knife, and from the head, split the lobster down through the spine. Just use heavy downward thrust.
The meat can be gently teased out of each part, it pulls away from the shell with a little reluctance. Nutcrackers or similar may be needed to open up claws and legs.
The tail has its mainly white flesh, and a green "tomally" (liver) which is edible, but not everyones cup of tea. Discard the thin dark intestinal cord at the tail end, and the grey-brown gills at the top end. Female lobsters may have bright red coral attached, very tasty, keep this. With the meat removed, you can use the main body of the shell to serve the dish. The tail meat is best chopped into bite sized pieces.
Your lobster is ready to dress and eat cold, or reheated under the grill or in the oven.
Grill
Grilling is the preferable method for these lobsters. They can be prepared cold, then served hot.
Please follow defrosting and preparation instructions. Dob the lobster meat with garlic butter. Warm under a medium grill for about 5-8 minutes.
Serve with salad and bread.
Eat nonchallantly
The film, No Highway (In The Sky), 1951 features James Stewart at his nonchallant most charming. He is an engineer, who is obsessed with stopping planes flying due to metal fatigue in their wings. It takes a long and patient process to be believed.
After being ostracised by all around him, bar his faithful and patient housekeeper, he sits down to supper and pours his heart out.
He is eating lobster. He takes the claw, and walks to the window. He uses the leverage of the window to crack his claw by the windows' hinge, all the time engaged in a rhetorical conversation.
This film is about patience and faith. It requires some patience in the viewer, but ones faith is rewarded. Have patience preparing your lobster, and you will be rewarded.
He and his faithful housekeeper fall in love in the end.
