Lobster 200 Years ago: "You eat that disgusting water bug." "No, you. Look, I even boiled it in butter." " _I don't care its gross_ " "I don't care you're poor and this is what poor people eat."
Must confess way down here in Alabama, I've never tried a lobster roll or clam chowder. But they Looked Awesome!!!! Thank you for All yals hard work!!!
Nothing comes close to the sweetness and mouth feel of a lobster in my opinion. Two count size langosteen for the mouth feel. Tiny bay scallops for the sweetness.
Possums have always tasted a little too greasy to me. Now if you humane trap a coon and feed her chicken scratch and grape juice for two weeks to make sure she ain't got the rabies. Be sure to carefully remove the scent glands when dressing. I had an old refrigerator that I removed all the racks from to hang and dry age for a week @35°f to 40°f. Place in a covered cast iron dutch oven with 2 cups scuppernong wine at about 325°f till the wine cooks down, about half then the usual ground veggies like new potatoes, onions, garlic, and a few cayenne peppers tossed in for grits and shiggles. BTW, don't salt till it gets on the table if you want tender. Pass the jar around. Yummy tummy time.
Here in RI the “lobstah roll with haht buttah” is commonly called “Connecticut-Style”. It’s my favorite over the Rhode Island cold mayo-drenched lobster roll.
I can use this as a basis for what to look for when visiting Maine, but I'll never make this at home. I live in the middle of the country and it's almost cheaper to eat lobster at a restaurant than it is to source the lobster and the rolls. The cheapest price I found for 8 lobster tails delivered is $75 so we're talking at least $20 per roll plus labor.
@Alex any halfway decent fish monger will have them. In the Arizona desert they're available. Also, it's so rich and satisfying that a 4 oz. tail will easily make a decent serving when served with the usual sides. As far as preparation of the meat, lightly steam. DO NOT OVERCOOK OR IT WILL BE TOUGH! Several great videos out there. May your quest be a short one, as culinary destiny awaits you. ✌️🙏🍋🌽🥐🦞🍻☮️.
I like them cold or hot , it depends on my mood , hard to believe lobsters were once considered poor man's food back in the day , Mainer , now living in New York
Thank you for not over seasoning that beautiful lobster meat. As a New England native, seeing YT chefs adding garlic and many assorted seasonings to lobster is sacrilege. Lobster, butter and a Nissan's split top hotdog roll is all you need
Yes! And for cold, just lobster, mayonnaise, and a few squirts of lemon. So many places add onion, celery, parsley, seasonings, etc., like they’re making a shrimp or chicken salad. Noooooo… I want to taste the lobster. Simpler is better in my book!
@@ellengrace4609 Right as I was thinking "Wow, at least they kept it simple and didn't add some stupid garnish", she dumps a bunch of chives all over everything, LOL. Right on cue.
I have no idea when this was made, but I live in western Massachusetts and lobster is NOT affordable any longer. At over $12/pound for micro lobsters (smaller than the 1 - 1.25 pound "chix") I can't afford them. When I was a kid we used to get lobsters (chix) for $3.99/pound local and if you went to the coast you could get them for $2.99/pound at the stores. If you went straight to the lobster pound you could get them for $2.49/pound and the culls (single clawed) for $1.99/pound. I know things are more expensive now, but lobster is presently out of my price range. Last time I went to Maine (~10 years ago) it was $10/ lobster roll ready made at the stand closest to our hotel and at the pound they were $10.99/pound for 2 pounders. Now it costs me ~$20 at our local store just to buy 2 micro lobsters for me to make one roll. Our local seafood restaurant no longer offers whole live lobster due to the price. They do offer lazy-mans lobster for around $40 but that is frozen meat.
I like the idea of finishing the cooking in butter. I'm surprised that removing the intestinal tract from the tail was omitted. It's an important step. Just as any decent shrimp recipe includes deveining.
Personally, I've never seen shrimp sold alive. Although I have caught them with a cast net and put them in a bucket of sea water aerated with a commercial DC powered bubbler for weakfish and red drum fishing. They usually hit 'em hard. Works great and if you put a bit of ice in the bucket, they usually stay alive for close to an hour. Just saying. 🦐🦞🦐 . So, when your 'Jeeves' isn't around, do you ever play Batman ® and ask Alfred for a slice of Amaretto cheesecake for dessert? 🦇🦹♂️To the Batmobile Robin! The penguin awaits! 🏎️🎩🌂👮
Lobster is crazy expensive in Sweden This made me way more confident at trying out some lobster some time, list time I messed it up! ( we live on the other side of the planet to lobsters )
As a recent transplant to New England my first experience with a lobster roll was pretty bad. Cold lobster and mayo in a folded slice of white bread. I was very disappointed. Perhaps I'll keep an eye out for a hot lobster roll and give it another chance.
Lobster rolls are really just seafood salad sandwiches made with lobster. I usually see it with mayo but occasionally you might see it without mayo. It certainly should come on a toasted roll not folded over bread.
Rip the fins off then push the meat out of the tail with your fingers. Takes two seconds and doesn’t require shears. That’s how we prepped it at “The Pound.”
And in case some of you out there don't know about America's test kitchen, they cook everything, using all sorts of recipes that they find. And then the one that is the best is always the recipe they offer to us!!! So when they give you a recipe, you can bet it has been cooked and cooked and cooked and cooked Time and Time again by different recipes and the one they come out with for proof of the pudding to you, it's the one that all of them agree is the best of all the lot! I don't know how you feel about this, but I believe it is very important information
Can we talk about the science behind the sound of the ocean and/or the smell of salt air being present in order for lobster to taste like lobster. I've had lobster rolls here in Chicago and they don't taste like anything
Trust me, exactly how they made it is insanely delicious. Doesn’t really need the minced shallot in my opinion but it’s fine. Can’t go wrong with a cold lobster roll either though so long as it’s not over dressed with mayo.
Hi; I agree... I'm allergic to ALL onions, garlic and peppers. I truly understand about angry insides, I have found that unless I make the food substitutes I pay the price.😢
@@jennyskeen3826 Are you truly allergic? If you go into anaphylaxis shock, that's an allergic reaction. It sounds like you have an intolerance to them like me!! It's really difficult to deal with when every recipe seems to have onions in it.
So, dude.....shall i say dudette! Not being a native here, ive called Mai e my home foe the last 14 years. Ive actually never had a lobster roll, and only had maybe 8 lobsters total. Originally from jersey...and love shri.p, scallops, especially crabs, clams.....i do know lobster is done a few ways. With that said......do i want hot lobster with butter cold with butter. Im not big on mayonnaise, but i know some places wikl lightly spread some on if you want . Another 2 questions would be... hard shell, soft shell..and steamed or boiled. Any advice from your guest from new england would be appreciated.a few typos in here, my oppologies, i think you can figure out what im asking
I live in Boston and make lobster rolls all the time. 10 minute cook: yes. Boil: no... steam instead. Shallots: no. Where did you get those split tops? They look odd and to be whole wheat... no way. Whole sides should be open bread and bleached white flour to let the lobster and butter shine! Butter griddled sides: yes. Chives: no. Lobster, butter, rolls, salt. That's all you want. Don't overcomplicate.
Not really.. I live in Maine. There are lobsters in my fridge right now lol... 7.99 a pound :-) anyhow Bands on or off doesn't really matter the bitter taste people think comes from bands is typically just found in some hard shell lobsters why is up for debate... Anyhow if you only cook shedders (soft shell) you wont find any bitterness bands or not
Tail meat is tougher and not as sweet as the claws and knuckles in my opinion. I always try to find a recently shed lobster. The darker the color of the shell means they haven't shed their shell recently. Always try to find the brighter red color. Also the 1 1/4 lb to 1 1/2 lb. They just taste better. and the larger the lobster the means shrinks in the shell during cooking so alway place the lobster out of the boiling water and into an ice bath. That will stop the cooking of the lobster in the shell.
I had to help cook crab when I was young. It was horrific ,,,to me. I would not boil a living creature. But that's just me. And yes I have eaten it a couple of times. And crawdads to (Cajun) but never again if I can help it.
You don't have to freeze lobster before cooking. Softly and smoothly/consistently rub the skull between the eyes with your fingertip for about a minute. The lobster will go into a state of hypnosis and won't feel a thing, even though it's still living and breathing normally. You can stand the lobster on its head and even stick your finger in its claw and it won't move or attempt to pinch. When you drop the hypnotized lobster in the water, you may hear a high-pitched squeal. That's air escaping the void between shell and meat, it's not screaming lol My dad is a retired lobster fisherman. I must have eaten 1000 lobsters in my life, maybe more. The hypnosis trick works every time, and ensures perfectly tender meat. If you drop the lobster in the water without hypnotizing it, it will tense up in the boiling water and you'll end up with tough rubber-like meat.
Question from RI: when choosing my lobsters, I was always taught to hold it up and if it flaps it’s tail quickly, it’s a lively one, which will taste better. Then to make sure they are not stressed at all - no dumping into sink, no running around the kitchen floor to amuse the kids/dogs (I like ur trick to hypnotize them - we’d just put them in the freezer for a few minutes). Are these tricks just old wife’s tales? Thought you’d might know.
This may be similar to the technique with which I am familiar. We would stand a lobster on its head, balanced by its claws. The lobster quickly became immobile. I was told it had to do with the lobster's inability to deal with the extra "blood pressure" on the brain that made them pass out. We also did the stroking between the eyes before standing them on the head. Thanks for the reminder.
I love these, only I'm in Australia so while we have lobsters, I like to use Balmain Bugs or Moreton Bay Bugs, so much easier to shell, more meat by weight and just as juicy and sweet.
Literally chose the worst way to dispatch those lobsters. Please teach people the humane way to do this. Freezing them then slowly boiling them is cruel. Just use a knife.

Lobster 200 Years ago:
"You eat that disgusting water bug."
"No, you. Look, I even boiled it in butter."
" _I don't care its gross_ "
"I don't care you're poor and this is what poor people eat."
200 years ago only poor blacks ate lobster and shellfish.
In these times those lobster sandwiches were probably $40 each 😮
I have my personal chef handle all this fiddle-faddle, anyways. There's no need to faff about with falderal. "Jeeves! Bring me another Mai-Tai!"
Lobsters are about as affordable as that $1000 blender, or whatever it was, that they recommended.
In Bahstan, they're even more than that. Luckily you can still find much more affordable versions outside the tourist traps in the city.
I purchased one of those lobster roll sandwiches in Boston, back in 2018, and it cost $39.00 then.
@@WastrelWay their worst recommendation by far was the $350 magnetic knife holder… you can get a wall mount one for $20

Lucky to have Lobster available on the EAST Coast! Month watering! Is there any similar substitute idea? Oh! Giant shrimp maybe work! 😁😋
Alaskan King Crab will also send one into shellfish ecstasy!
Nothing comes close to the sweetness and mouth feel of a lobster in my opinion. Two count size langosteen for the mouth feel. Tiny bay scallops for the sweetness.
I'm in rural Tennessee, lobster is a bit scary but possum we got. Any recipes besides the same old ones we use?
Good idea! They should do a macaroni and cheese casserole with jalapenos, and smoked opossum on top, and green beans and bacon on the side.
Possums have always tasted a little too greasy to me. Now if you humane trap a coon and feed her chicken scratch and grape juice for two weeks to make sure she ain't got the rabies. Be sure to carefully remove the scent glands when dressing. I had an old refrigerator that I removed all the racks from to hang and dry age for a week @35°f to 40°f. Place in a covered cast iron dutch oven with 2 cups scuppernong wine at about 325°f till the wine cooks down, about half then the usual ground veggies like new potatoes, onions, garlic, and a few cayenne peppers tossed in for grits and shiggles. BTW, don't salt till it gets on the table if you want tender. Pass the jar around. Yummy tummy time.
I love lobster anyway it’s served. 👏👏👏
I take the tail and break off the tail fins and poke your finger in and push it out. Quicker
Here in RI the “lobstah roll with haht buttah” is commonly called “Connecticut-Style”. It’s my favorite over the Rhode Island cold mayo-drenched lobster roll.
Either one would be my last meal ... 💯
Yes, Connecticut style…

This was delicious I made mine with lobster tails 🎉
East coast of Canada is where you get the real lobster roll
Inexpensive??!! I think not. Four tails for 100.00 plus, is outrageous!! I LOVE lobster but I could never afford to eat it. It’s a luxury now!
in AZ lobster tail normally only 3.99 each.
And a bunch of fresh garlic added to that butter makes it even more
Not adding some hot sauce to that butter...you're just missing out on all that extra flavor!
Let me guess. Bread,lobster,butter and an oven or stove?
No shears needed to remove the tail. Remove the tail fins then push the flesh out the other end
I prefer to dispatch lobsters with a knife through the brain before cooking, it seems more humane to me.
Now tell us how to afford lobster!
Hello every one
They said the lobsters were sleeping 🥺
Yuk with any mayo, this is the way to eat them. I would have put a little minced garlic in with the butter! But what do I know, I'm from SoCal

Looks sloppy to eat but I am dying to eat one! Too bad it’s sooo expensive where I live. :(
And for some extra flavor, make sure to leave the rubber bands on the claws, like they did.

IDK BUTEER ON THE OUT SIDE THE ROLLS ..
Tail meat is tougher and not as sweet as the claws and knuckles in my opinion. I always try to find a recently shed lobster. The darker the color of the shell means they haven't shed their shell recently. Always try to find the brighter red color. Also the 1 1/4 lb to 1 1/2 lb. They just taste better. and the larger the lobster the means shrinks in the shell during cooking so alway place the lobster out of the boiling water and into an ice bath. That will stop the cooking of the lobster in the shell.
These look delectable!!

You don't have to freeze lobster before cooking. Softly and smoothly/consistently rub the skull between the eyes with your fingertip for about a minute.

My dad is a retired lobster fisherman. I must have eaten 1000 lobsters in my life, maybe more. The hypnosis trick works every time, and ensures perfectly tender meat. If you drop the lobster in the water without hypnotizing it, it will tense up in the boiling water and you'll end up with tough rubber-like meat.

No, you're supposed to intoxicate the lobsters with marijuana smoke before cooking them.
