THIS IS HOW TRISTAN ROCK LOBSTER TASTES BEST

1. BLANCH When blanching rock lobster as a whole, do not thaw beforehand; instead, place them directly from the freezer into boiling water and blanch for approximately 10 minutes. For a thawed rock lobster tail, blanch in boiling water for about 3 minutes. When ready to eat, crack the rock lobster tail open and drizzle with olive oil or toss in lemon butter. 2. CONFUSE IN BUTTER Carefully make an incision on the belly side of the rock lobster tail to remove the meat from the shell. Melt butter over medium heat until a brownish layer forms at the bottom (caramelizing the milk solids). Once the butter has cooled slightly, add the rock lobster tail and cook, turning it several times, for approximately 5 minutes. Enhance with a touch of lime zest and salt. 3. GRILLED whole rock lobster or grilled rock lobster TAIL Split the whole rock lobster or tail with shell lengthwise, then season the flesh sides with salt and olive oil. Grill the rock lobster tail for about 3 minutes on the flesh side, then flip it and let it continue to cook at lower heat for another 3 minutes. 4. Whole pre-cooked Tristan rock lobster The whole pre-cooked Tristan rock lobster is halved. At this point, carefully split the frozen rock lobster with a knife and thaw overnight in the refrigerator or slowly at room temperature. Then arrange the halves on a plate. It goes well with melted brown butter, high-quality olive oil or cocktail sauce. Season with a little sea salt and lemon.
