The best lobster recipes - 122 recipes
Lobsters gained their popularity from Bostonians and New Yorkers who developed a taste for these delicious crustaceans in the mid 19th century. Before this time lobsters were considered a peasant food only eaten by prisoners and the lower class. Lobster is typical steamed or boiled and can be used in bisques, pastas, salads and soups. I will always remember when I had lobster for my first time, now I am obsessed. My favorite lobster dish is a tie between steamed Maine lobster with lots of lemon or a lobster roll. The bread must be warm, soft and extra buttery! What is your favorite way to eat lobster?
