Lobster is a popular and expensive seafood that can be boiled, steamed, served as tails or in a roll, or used in dishes like Lobster Newburg or lobster thermador. It can also be used in exotic recipes like lobster cheesecake and lobster pancakes.
Lobster is a type of marine crustacean that lives on the ocean floor. Lobsters, especially “American lobsters,” commonly found in Maine, are a popular and expensive type of seafood. There are many ways to make lobster into delicious meals.
The most common way to prepare lobster is to simply boil the lobster and eat it whole. You can purchase live lobsters straight from a tank; you can often hand pick the lobster you’d like to eat. The lobster will then be placed in a pot of simmering water, where it will turn from a brownish green to its signature bright red hue.
A similar method of preparing lobster is to steam it in a pot, where it is placed in a container held over simmering water, without actually being submerged. In either method, the lobster can be delivered whole to the diner, who will then use a nutcracker to open the claws and body where the meat is. Often, the diner will dip the lobster meat in melted butter before eating it.
Some people don’t like preparing lobster this way, because it can be messy to break the claws. For those who prefer not to prepare the lobster at the table, lobster tails can be ordered as a separate dish at many restaurants. With lobster tails, the meat has already been peeled off the body. Another way to prepare lobster is in a lobster roll, where the lobster meat is placed inside a roll. Lobster rolls are common at many roadside stands in Maine, especially Red’s, in the town of Wiscasset.
Another way to prepare lobster is Lobster Newburg, a dish in which lobster meat is stirred into a cream sauce. This sauce is then poured onto toast or sometimes used to fill crepes or pour over pasta. One way to prepare lobster that is often made in restaurants is “lobster thermador,” a French dish in which lobster tail is cooked, mixed with béchamel sauce, then grilled and topped with Parmesan cheese.
Other common ways to prepare lobster include lobster chili, lobster bisque, and a lobster bake, where lobsters are grilled on a chop along with vegetables. It is also possible to prepare lobster in exotic recipes, such as lobster cheesecake, lobster pancakes and lobster and egg sandwich.
