No visit
to the Atlantic Provinces of Canada can be complete without a generous
'feed' of lobster. Here's a way to prepare them without the distractions
of fancy cuisine and etiquette.
Difficulty
Level: medium Time Required: 35
minutes
Here's How:
- Come to Nova Scotia!
- Collect the following essential utensils: one large pot, matches,
plenty of newspaper (to start the fire), napkins, hammer, pliers.
- Find a beach (we have lots of them) where fires are allowed (check
for restrictions at the nearest fire department)
- Gather enough driftwood to make a good fire, and 4 or 5 rocks.
- Build a medium-sized camp fire on the beach.
- Fill your pot with fresh seawater and bring to a rolling boil
- Place lobsters (headfirst please) into boiling water.
- Allow 2-3 lobsters per person.
- Boil for about 15-20 minutes.
- Place a lobster on a flat rock for each person. Supply everyone
with a hammer and pliers (or real lobster tools, if necessary).
- Get cracking!
Tips:
- Lobsters are sold in a range of weights and sizes. The larger specimens
are not necessarily the tastiest choice.
- Add seaweed for 'genuine' flavour. It's healthy too! Maritmers eat
certain seaweeds, e.g. "dulse".
- Live lobsters are dark green, but turn the characteristic bright
red colour as soon as they touch the boiling water.
