Cajun Boiled Lobster

I’ve never done it but please don’t ruin some good lobster trying to make them into huge crawfish

I didn’t downvote your but this board has some oddly strong feelings on this topic

This has been discussed on here a few times, FYI.

Here's one thread: My takeaway: don't do it

I have done it, don't. It's not bad but it's not as good cooked other ways. We did some in the pot and split some in half and did those on the grill with garlic butter. The ones on the grill were easily better than the boiled ones. They won't suck up the flavor like a crawfish.

Steam them.

Don't screw up perfection trying to be cute.

Steamed or grilled

The best tasting lobster is a stolen one.

We were walking around the LES on a pre-COVID visit to NYC, stopping in any food service establishment for a drink and a bite, when we stumbled into The Boil.

They steam the seafood then serve it to your dry (no sauce) or tossed in your choice of sauce. Our server suggested that we get all three sauces which proved to be the correct decision. Here is a customer photo from Yelp of what we ordered except with garlic butter only.

If you're looking for something different, you might want to go this route instead of boiling lobster in Chakbay seasoning.

It's really messy but definitely worth the experience!

That was from the lobstaman, wasn’t it?

Sho was from da robsterman back in 2013

I wish I could still get them for that price.

Weren’t we paying $225 for 24, 1.25 lb lobsters shipped overnight?
