Lobsterman has a great recipe there. my Peruvian mother in law would stick a fork into the hand of anyone who tried to take the green stuff out of her lobster.....

BTW, just dunk the critter into boiling ocean water and when it comes back to a boil take off after 11 minutes. perfection...

who worries about the the supposed pain of a crustacean? a good bath in boiling water cures all pain. we did evolve out of the stone age for a reason!:light:

Last time we visited my aunties in Vermont, we found some good Maine lobsters to cook. My Mexican hubby did them up Baja style for the New England aunties. I think he made some kind of machaca with them (he makes machaca out of everything!). Aunties and hubby enjoyed sure them!
I didn't try them as I don't care too much for seafood. Too bad for my Cabo fisherman...if he wants seafood at the house, he's got to cook it himself! Let's just say he doesn't have the fish dinners that he grew up on! He did make some ceviche from almejas that he seemed to enjoy last weekend, La Paz style on those! Saludos, H.

I read a pretty fascinating book called the "Lobster Chronicles". It's an easy fun read. Linda Greenlaw who was captain of the sister ship that was featured in "The Perfect Storm". Here is a quote from the book that I found quite interesting.

"Prior to the nineteenth century, only widows, orphans, and servants ate lobster. And in some parts of New England, serving lobster to prison inmates more than once a week was forbidden by law, as doing so was considered cruel and unusual punishment."

Crazy eh?

TheColoradodude, Yea, lobsters were pretty much in the "Trash" catagory way back when. Guess maybe crabs were to? Oysters? Shrimp? They didn't have refrigeration. The only folks that got seafood lived on or near the sea. And that may well have been all they had to eat.:D

NFW, $35 for mashed potatoes. There are just too many people with too much disposable income.

Really. Western Civilization has finally declined as far as it can.
Those mashys are probably pretty tasty, though.

Were they sweet potatoes? Now that would jack the price/lb. up a tad, but $35. a serving? Something about a fool and his money comes to mind. If you're hungry and have a pocket full of money someone will empty your pocket and fill your belly.:lol:

Juans sister makes a scrumptious lobster-mashed potato dish...chop up cooked lobster and saute with onion, tomato, garlic in butter for a bit...put in a casserole dish...cover this with a layer of creamy mashed potatos and drizzle butter on top and bake for a short time....really delicious casserole...she only charges $10 a serving with salad and tortillas...and delivered to your casita!!!

yeah. i know..... there are no shortage of gucci restaurants here in gucci Snottsdale where you can spend way too much on haute cuisine...i read about the lobster mashed potatos in the Wall St. Journal today.

but lets not forget that even Ruth's Chris will charge you $40 for a steak and if you want a side of potato or vegetable it's $3-4 more!!

Sheri's sounds yummy tho....:light:

Skeeter - once a month up north of New River off I-17 at Rock Springs they have a huge BBQ and "nut fry".
they serve breaded fried lamb/sheep testicles.
yummy and tender with c-cktail sauce.

Drunken Lobster


Lobsterman's recipe sounds like a variation of a Chinese (the country) dish that is very popular nationwide and commonly called "Drunken Shrimp".

Capt'n Mike, watch the video at the link below and see for yourself if the critters actually get drunk:

So we worry about a lobster suffering while we hit cows over the head with a sledgehammer?

I just play with the lobsters in th ekithcen until they are very very tired and then give them a very hot bath :)

BTW- I had a lobster omelette in RI a few months back that was def not worth the $14 price tag. Wouldn't order $30 lobster mashies unless I had an expense account again... :)
