Lobster is a popular fish, one that can be found all around the world. However, two of the most commonly used varieties come from America and Europe. Of course, America's fine catch is the biggest and tastiest of them all!
When it comes to cooking lobster dishes, all the great chefs and recipe books will tell you to keep it simple. Whether you decide to grill, bake, boil or steam your lobster, it's paramount to use very little seasoning as the dish should really speak volumes for itself. For a light accompanient and to keep it moist (remembering to serve on the side), why not try a simple butter sauce or lemon juice? Or, for something more wholesome, perhaps a classic risotto or rice side? Simplicity out the window, I will always argue the case for Lobster Thermidor. For me, there is nothing better than the rich and full-bodied cheese and mustard sauce, you never can beat it!
You may have already gathered that I am a lover of tradition and hearty meals; however, I am also the first to admit that I am all for fine dining and fusion cuisine, a culinary style that have taken the restaurant scene by storm in recent years. In fact, not so long ago, I attended a fusion restaurant in Soho and came across a Lobster recipe that almost put the Thermidor to shame Marine Lobster Benedict. Yes, you read that right, I'm talking about grilled lobster, on a bed of steamed asparagus and toasted muffins, accompanied by a fine cut of bacon, hollandaise sauce, and lemon and parsley to taste: Scrum-didly-umptious!
If you're new to the delights of lobster, or its an old-age favourite as it is mine, why not try an equally lavish London venue to match your superb palate? The truly exquisite restaurants of House 19 and House 21 in private member's club Home House, Portman Square, both put on legendary lobster nights on a monthly basis.
This month, you could try
The Restaurant in House 19 to choose classic grilled with garlic butter or barnaise and fries whilst taking in the stunning vista of Portman Square.
Or be drawn to the deliciously aromatic dish of lobster, Asian spices and rice recipe created by chef Malwin Moe in the stunning surroundings of The Octagon Dining Room, House 21.
