Lobster Quiche

Sep 26, 2012 08:28

This summer, a friend invited me to her family's vacation home in Maine and made lunch reservations at Jordan Pond House in Acadia National Park. The traditional thing to do there is have tea and popovers. But the highlight of the meal for me was a piece of lobster quiche. It was a small piece of quiche but it was so yummy that I immediately looked ( Read more... )

Yum. But ack, did you skip the popovers? They are incredible.

Oh! No worries...Meal included a popover. I was tempted to order another one but decided to finish up and go walking around instead. And yes...the popover was yummy too :)

Oh, that DOES look yummy!

So did you buy your lobster pre-cooked, frozen, or did you cook it yourself?

We have a store here that has a seafood shop where they will steam your fish, including lobster, for you to take home, but I've never bought fresh lobster (either fresh or live, for that matter), only fish.

Bought it both cooked-on-demand as well as cooked at home. The first time I just bought 2 lobsters and the store cooked them for me for no extra charge. The second time, I was in Massachusetts. If they steamed them for me, then they would charge a PreparedMeals tax. So we opted to cook them up ourselves.

So when you buy the fish, do you let them steam it for you? Is there an extra charge? I like fish a lot but I'm intimidated about cooking fish so I very rarely buy fish.

No, I take it home with me. I seldom buy it from the case; I'd sooner buy frozen fillets and thaw them at home. And, since I've never asked, I don't know if there's an extra charge or not ( ... )

That is yummy and I have made it at home too... but I put spinach in mine along with the lobster.

Nice to be able to add some vegetables to the dish. We also made some lobster mac-n-cheese, inspired by your mentioning that dish a few years ago. :-)

That sounds like a yummy addition to it!

It used to be a shrimp and spinach quiche but I just decided to try the same with lobster once and it was pretty good.

Excellent choice for using the lobster.
