Lobster tips...
You will find fresh live or frozen lobster in your Metro fishmonger's display.
- Lobster can be eaten hot or cold but preferably always
cooked.
- The classic way to cook lobster is to plunge it head
first into boiling salted water (lobsters should be covered
with water).
- Once cooked, cool the lobster in ice water to stop the cooking
process.
- If you plan to eat it cold, store in the refrigerator until
ready to serve.
- Every part of the lobster is used in cooking.
- The shells make a wonderful broth for bisque or lobster au
gratin.
- The liver is very fragrant and tasty to use in dips and
sauces.
- The roe makes a colourful garnish for appetizers and salads,
and finally the claws really dress up a salad.
