Yani. I enjoy your channel cause you use the entire fish and sometimes bait!
I've always wondered if anyone eats the fresh caught bait when no big fish comes home.
So along those lines.. . I'm trying to use all i can of a lobster. Most agree the tail is what it's about. I wanted to share my process.
1) Rip off tail dry, vacuum seal and freeze for another time.
2) take the carapace and halve. Clean out the tamale and the guts under running water. Pull legs from the carapace and use the knife to scrape off the feathery gills.
3) put cleaned halved carapace and leg bunches into water with celery and onion. salt and pepper to taste.
4) cook slowly about 20 min (i use a pressure cooker on low).
Remove the halved carapace and legs. Let the lobster and broth cool. pull out the head, leg and antennae meat. Put it in bowl. Strain the lobster broth. I freeze the broth until I'm ready for some lobster bisque.
The head, leg and antennae meat is a great addition to a bisque, salad topping, or a lobster roll! Freeze you can freeze it too.
OR think lobster-dogs. (my wife ate the other before it was photo'd).
