Ive had good luck at Magnolia and Loop Hole this year. Just stay awy from the lobster pots!

What alternatives have you all had other than steaming/boiling/grilling your bugs?

All recipies I know start with steaming/boiling -- creative part is what you do afterward. What I like to do is get a Chicken or Shrimp Saaq (a spinach dish) takeout from an Indian restaurant, separate some of the spinach mix, and add chopped lobster meat to it. We end up with one concentrated Chicken Saaq and one Lobster Saaq.

Another recipie has more to do with presentation -- when a lot of guests are coming and you only have 2 or 3 small lobsters. Make a serving plate of rice pilaf, boil the lobsters, then break off claws, break off tails, and slice each tail lengthwise. Three lobsters thus become 15 pieces you can arrange artistically atop the rice.

I hate to disagree Mello but the only recipe when you only have 2 or 3 small lobsters is grab a great bottle of Chardonnay lock the doors with your significant other and chow down. Pulling the shades and Butter are optional.

What alternatives have you all had other than steaming/boiling/grilling your bugs? Those standards are getting a little old, and it would also be nice to have something to do with the extra meat left over.

I've thought that it would be great to do some dips, chowder, etc, but have never really followed up on it.

Send me your catch and I'll try out a few dishes and report back on this issue.

'Lobster at Home' by renowned Boston chef Jasper White is a great resource for lobster divers! :11ztongue

There are some really awesome recipies in there (try the lobster chowder with corn fritters) as well as a lot of generally usefull lobster info.

No joke -- it'd be worth it to me! Come on out diving sometime with me and I'll give up a few. Heck, last weekend, I gave 8 of the 11 I bagged to dive buddies, dive shop monkeys, and neighbors....(and none offered any recipe ideas!)

Will trade beer for lobster(seriously)... Will trade wife for scuba... Will trade lungs for gills... I'm just a businessman...
