I got a call from my pops this weekend: "Hey Holl, Lobstah's only $3.99 a pound!"
Its moments like this when I realize how much I love being in Maine during the Summer. Where else could you buy a fresh lobster for cheaper than a pound of sliced deli ham?
My personal favorite way to eat lobster is boiled then dipped in fresh butter with a squeeze of lemon juice. Using these butter warmers really makes a difference; you end up using less of it because its not getting cool and coagulated and there's just something about piping hot butter that makes all the difference in taste. In terms of the actual lobster I prefer the younger chicks-their shells are so soft you can crack them with your hand. Sure there's less meat than the honking hard shells but it packs way more flavor and sweetness.
I was skimming the Portland Press Herald this morning and found a great Lobster roll and stew recipe for when you want to jazz it up:
To make the best rolls or stew, let the lobster shine through
