Your Favorite Dish or Way of Eating Lobster at Home and in a Restaurant

Tweet

When I eat lobster it is simply a boiled lobster served with hot melted butter and accompanied by potatoe salad, onion rings and corn on the cob. If I eat out at a restaurant on a wharf somewhere I like it the same way. However, when eating out at a restaurant I prefer Lobster Thermadour....especially if it is made from non-Maine lobsters. It's a sin to eat Maine lobsters any other way than steamed or boiled. Years ago when an aunt and uncle of mine hauled lobsters we would go out on a rock island off the short in East Boothbay to have a New England Clam Bake where the most delicious lobsters in the world were consumed. My aunt would build the fire in a makeshift barbacue with a iron grill. She placed seaweed on the grill, lay the lobsters on the seaweed and cover it with more seaweed. She then covered the seaweed with clams and more seaweed. Last but not least she would cover the seaweed with corn on the cob in the husks and more seaweed. She then covered the whole kit n' kaboodle with a tarpaulin and let the contents steam themselves cooked. Don't recall how long it tool. If you haven't eaten these cooked in this way you don't know what you are missing....it is the bestest ever.
