Lobster Anywhere

…And a lobster in every pot. Well, that wasn’t really what the phrase was, and interestingly, “a chicken in every pot” was never spoken by an American President. See Henry IV for that.

You can get at least one of the seven sea foods you need for the Feast of the Seven Fishes right here. I was surprised to learn some years ago on a guided tour of Boston’s North End that the prisoners were so upset that they were being served lobster meal after meal that they revolted and demanded better food. Lobster once was regarded as the cockroach of the ocean, but today that is not the case.

Lobster Anywhere has lobster and more. It’s like a menu: point and click at what you want to eat and they’ll ship it to you after checkout. Easy peasy.

Holiday Main Course

Sure, finger foods are fun. Dips and chips and cheeseballs (Yes. A cheeseball.) and homemade toast points and crab dip. But, after all that, we want dinner. Lobster and crab and chowder and drawn butter and rolls. So, here are some of the sources I’ve found for just those things.

Blue cheese and walnuts, toasted walnuts, are a classic combination and one which I really enjoy.  In this recipe, I would use original cream cheese and add a few drops of Worcestershire sauce.  Of course, you may adjust any way you need.  Toasting the walnuts brings out the deeper flavors and also helps keep them crunchy in the mix.  Cool them before you add them to the mixture.

Crab dip starts with a crab cake.  If you plan to serve the dip warm with crackers, I would add a 1/4 cup more of the dressing to help it be more dip-able.  Some chopped chives or dill on top after it is hot makes a nice presentation.
