What is your favorite way to eat lobster?

Question

Just got a lobster and it is steamed....what is the best way to eat it? Do I make some type of dip, sauce, or ranch or what? How do you usually eat your lobster?

Answer 1

My fave way is to eat it seasoned and grilled the way Outback Steakhouse does it! But since yours is already cooked, just melt some butter and dip the meat into the butter, maybe squeeze on a drop or two of lemon juice (or mix a dash into your butter) and enjoy!

Answer 2

Slice a lemon into wedges. Melt some butter. Offer both, with nutcrackers, a basket for shells, and nutpicks to get every morsel of flesh. Encourage people to use their hands to eat. Have lots of napkins. Lobster bibs if you have 'em. Hand out dampened washcloths or wipes afterward.
