    Best way to eat lobster is outdoors in a casual setting like a family event or at a New England seafood shack.
    We do a family lobster feast once a year and it’s one of my favorites. It’s coming up this weekend and I’m here for my annual refresher course.
    This is definitely the way to do it. After two 1 1/2 pounders I am STUFFED. And it turns it into more of an activity; not like just chomping down a lobster roll or something.
    I tried crab on the Outer Banks a few years ago; it was fine, but as much if not more work and I was still hungry after half a dozen

    I've got a question. If you order a lobster in a nice restaurant for example where everyone is eating steak or scallops, how are you supposed to eat a lobster without making such a mess and getting all dirty? But I can't imagine being served just the meat pieces either..
    I never ordered lobster so I am genuinely interested in experiences of others.

    • @Welshwarrior85
      @Welshwarrior85 Před 8 lety +41

      +overTIMe Good restaurants pre-crack and open the tail before serving. The tail is sliced in half underneath so it doesn't ruin the aesthetic appeal of the lobster when it arrives.
      That, with the right tools and cutlery - you'll be mess free.

    • @riskinhos
      @riskinhos Před 8 lety +21

    • @rioclaro2
      @rioclaro2 Před 7 lety +22

      If you do what he did in the video you will be fine. Of course like eating crab legs, your hands will get messy. Most places I have eaten them will give you a wet nap and a towel. Crab and lobster are two of my top 5 favorite foods. They are somewhat similar but neither one is comparable to the other, entirely. You should consider Alaskan King Crab as well. Very expensive, but as the name states, it is the king of crab in my opinion.

    Hello Jasper, I have a couple of questions for you. You had a recipe for a lobster stew that was published in Yankee magazine a while back. I do believe they mentioned that that recipe was also published in a cook book as well. Would you be able to tell me the name of the cook book? I have made this stew, and I have to say it is the best lobster stew I have ever had! If it’s made right, lol, I have managed to mess it up. The one difference I made was to add some sherry @ the end!, man does that make a difference! My second question is, what type of wine would you suggest for the stock? Thanks for your time, Jim
