Lobster glut is bringing prices down and this weekend will find me making Lobster Paella on the charcoal Weber accompanied by oyster shooters.

What's on the menu this weekend?

I did 3 of the bad boys last night. Also made a crab stuffed chicken breast with a white wine/swiss cheese hollandaise sauce. YUMMMMY

Anybody have a clue how to get drool off a keyboard?

Nice...was toying with trying a chili lobster recipe I have but too labor intensive for 6 guests.

Banged out three lobsters Wednesday. Shoprite $5.99lb with card.

I have a good friend in Maine who is paying $1.50/lb for hard shell 2 pounders off the boats.

Group buy?

Already being done....some smaller restaurants in NYC have a group buy convoy twice a week to Portland because city suppliers are still asking $4.99/lb delivered.

Went all out and threw together a great paella a couple days ago for my girl and I. Brought together a few lobsters, shrimp, calamari, clams, and scallops in a white wine/garlic sauce then put it all over some homemade spanish rice.

 

Best meal I've ever had! The best part is it was my first time making it and saying it turned out perfect is an understatement.

It's the best Isn't it? Great party dish and always appreciated.I bought and seasoned a carbon steel paellera to fit on a 22 inch Weber grill so the smokiness from the charcoal and some wood chips soaked in beer permeates the rice then add chorizo,chicken,mussles,clams,shrimp,squid,monk fish,bacalao....you name it....no rules.

At the NY Maker Faire in September some caterer brings out a bunch of 6' Paella pots and feeds all the presenters & volunteers. I can't wait!

Duppie, Wow that sounds great. Can you share the basics for a Paella newb? I'd like to try this. I'm a big seafood nut myself, so it makes sense. Seafood + grill =win.

 

Since its crappy outside today (so far), I'm going for beer steamed PEI mussels appetizer, coconut-lime-chille Quinoa, and pan seared diver scallops. I can't wait.

Holy bejeezus those sound awesome!

 

Wait...my brain just woke up. How about we make a new thread with just recipes? I'd love to try some of those from you all who have tried them out.

 

Anyone interested?

I'm in and would love some hints from the hunters on game sausage recipes...

I heard about this but didn't follow-up. Thanks for the heads up!

 

I'll get some tomorrow. Just went on the list

 

Generally we (my entire mid-eastern seaboard family in various states) only buy them in Maine during the season and bring them back packed in coolers.

I have 4 waiting to dive in boiling saltwater for dinner tonight! Iwish I knew how to make paella, that would be the best complement for lobsters.

No, not at all. Commonly served with seafood around these parts but not married to lobster specifically in the slightest.

I just sent Dan a recipe so I'll copy you also.

Thanks for the heads up! Lobster is always a rare treat for me(wife isn't a huge fan, and the pricing was always high), but I have a feeling I'll be cracking shells on Monday
