Whole Cooked Lobster
While almost every meal can be made better by adding lobster, there’s never anything so quintessentially PEI (not to mention delightful) as boiling a lobster, cracking it open, and dipping each piece into warm, melted, salted butter (if you’re drooling at this point of your reading, you’re not alone). While preparing a traditional lobster feast is old hats to some, it’s surprising how few could confidently rock the chef’s hat at a lobster boil. Understandably, this process can be a little daunting, but there’s no time like the present to try! Boiling your own lobster is a badge of honour you can wear proudly for many lobster seasons to come.
