I'm going out on a limb and buying a couple of

lobster tails, just for the heck of it. I haven't had lobster in 30 years, and have quite forgotten how it tastes. Is it like crab? Do you guys have any good lobster recipes? The lobster rolls they serve out east look mighty good! Thanks!

1. Its great, sweet and mild.

Slightly like crab.

BROIL, and serve with lemon and butter, simple is best imo. You could probably also buy already steamed; many grocery stores do it this way.

2. Thank you, elleng!

I think simple is probably better, you're right!

6. I agree with Ellen, the less you do to them, the better

You can split them for more even broiling if you want to. I always throw a pinch of cayenne into the butter, but that's just how I roll. That and lemon wedges should be it. Sides need to be plain and understated.

3. If they are cooked you can heat them up. Then serve with lemon butter.

4. Simple -- I think lobster and crab is often wasted by trying to stretch it. Lemon and butter m-m-m-m

5. I like to grill lobster tails

Assuming uncooked tails, I put them on the grill shell and all and cook them to an internal temperature of 140 degrees turning them 2-3 times during cooking. After grilling let them rest for about 10 minutes, open with a pair of kitchen shears and serve with melted butter.

9. agree - I like mine grilled also - fixed a couple last night

I open the tails before grilling and add garlic butter while on the grill

10. I steam mine. Did some Friday night.

And serve with butter with a little fresh lemon squeezed into it.
