Mahi Mahi works good too. Just add butter, salt and pepper.

Sander as I love to cook I follow the Cowboy Kent and his recipes. He is pretty darn good.
Also follow your posts and vids on the wild west they fascinate me.

Imagine old contracts on the walls in New England seafood restaurants had posted printed where the servants upon signing contracts were bound not to be fed lobster but once or twice a week. That is how abundant and cheap a food they were.
Damn for a time machine.

Damn, my wife just bought some lobster tails the other day, not Maine lobster by Spiny lobster, little pieces of crap, three for like $25. They looked like overgrown shrimps with a lobster tail end. Not even a pound of actual meat.

When you buy tails they aren’t lobsters, my grandfather was a chef he taught me this when I was like 5 yrs old, he said they are from places like new zealand and Africa. If you went to a restaurant and they pulled any kind of shit like calling that lobster he would go ape shit. Grand mom wouldn’t take him out much because he was uncontrollable, especially in restaurants.

When I was working offshore, every once in a great while we'd jump into some lobsters. Our production rate would be overlooked if we were catching and sending up sacks of lobsters for everyone, or at least make sure the captain got some.

Reminds me. I have frozen cod or halibut on my shopping list. I need to add some of that fancy Kerry gold butter, too. There's a huge difference in taste between that and regular butter.

Down here we have what's called Spiny Lobster, it has no claws, they are all over the Caribbean sea, I used to go catch them by hand during the open season when I was young, trust me I know one when I see one.
