Another Lobster


This is a 6.09 pound lobster specifically bought to share with 6 people in a surf and turf combo dinner. The claws were very even in size, the crusher alittle larger than my hand. I cooked it 15 minutes for the first pound and 1 minute for each pound thereafter for a total of 20 minutes. I make 3 cuts:
one down the center of the tail with a sharp knife
one across the width of each claw with a cleaver
On a lobster this big, I demeat almost all of the shell locations except the smaller legs at the sink, then serve it on a single plate somewhat reassembled to look like the original shape. Interested diners can snack on those small legs cold at the end of the meal or later after the cleanup while watching a movie instead of making popcorn.
