Guess I'm gonna have to make a trip to Joe Patti's Seafood for lobster....
This one sounds too good!
Now I'm craving lobster. :rolleyes:

If anyone ever heads to San Diego. Make the trip south of the border to Puerto Nuevo. Also known as the lobster town on the Baja Peninsula. It isn't Belize but another good lobster option if anyone is ever in that neck of the woods.

Sandshaker - It's not lobster but Billy's down near pinnacle port over near Panama City has good seafood last time I was there, but you are lucky as Pensacola has it's share too. MMMM a grilled amberjack sandwich on garlic bread!!!

I'll have to try that Robert! Fudpucker's in Ft. Walton is great too...great seafood, killer drinks and a real beach environment.

I'm not much on amberjack...it's a little strong for me. Love snapper and grouper but triggerfish is my favorite fish. It's downright buttery!

Thanks for the tip Robert!

Lobster Cantonese

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. Raw Lobster tails
3 Tablespoons salad oil
2 Tablespoons fermented salted black beans, rinsed, drained,
and finely chopped
2 Cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon minced, fresh ginger
1/4 lb. Boneless pork (shoulder), trimmed of excess fat, and
finely chopped or ground
1 Green onion (including top), thinly sliced
1 egg, lightly beaten

Extra Ingredients for Cooking Sauce:
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon dry sherry
1/2-cup regular strength chicken broth
a dash of white pepper

Preparation:
Combine ingredients for Cooking Sauce, stir together and set aside.

Place a wok over high heat; when wok is hot, add oil. When oil begins to heat, add black beans, garlic, and ginger; stir once. Then add pork and stir-fry until no longer pink (about 2 minutes). Add Lobster and stir-fry until shelled meat is opaque throughout (cut to test -- 3 to 4 minutes).

Stir Cooking Sauce, add to wok and stir until sauce boils and thickens. Add onion and egg; stir just until egg begins to sit (about 30 seconds).

And that's it! This recipe enhances other shellfish, too! Try it with crab, scallops, or shrimp.

Lobster Bisque

Ingredients:
3 bunches of Celery, diced
13 Carrots, skin off and diced
14 Onions, diced
7 large Tomatoes or 20 Roma Tomatoes, diced
6 Red Bell Peppers, diced
4 Green Peppers, diced
5 cloves of Garlic, minced
3-4 Lemons, juiced
2 heaping tbsp. Tomato Paste
20 sprigs of Thyme
15 Bay Leaves
16 Lobster Heads
6 cups of White Wine

Preparation:
In a medium size stock pot add all the ingredients (except the uncooked rice) at one time, and cover with water. Stir until everything is well blended. Once the stock comes to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer. Cook for 1 hour.

After the stock reduces by half, add the uncooked rice. Stir constantly to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot.

Remove and discard the lobster heads. With an immersion blender, food processor, or conventional blender puree all the ingredients until smooth, and then force the mixture
through a fine sieve.

Before serving heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream and whisk it into the strained soup.

Serve hot. Garnish with sautéed wild mushrooms.

Are you working in a Lobster House? Why all these wonderful recipes? Just cusious.

Darn, they are making me hungry, but I would rather let someone else make it, as I did in Belize. LOL
