Poor Man’s Lobster
Yield: 2 Servings
Cowboy Kent Rollins
This is a test… If you think this tastes like lobster you’ve never had New England lobster. I used the recommended halibut and guess what? Tastes just like halibut. A real go figure. Not to mention, I’ve had some much better halibut preparations.
- 1lb halibut filets, thawed if frozen
- ½lemon
- 1cup sugar
- lemon pepper, dill seed, melted butter (for serving)
Fill a large pot about ½ to ¾ full of water and bring to a boil.
Add in half a lemon, cut into 2 pieces and the sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Allow the mixture to come back to a boil for a couple minutes.
Cut the fish into about 1-inch chunks and add to the boiling water. Do not stir!
When the fish begin bobbing and float to the top, strain them out and set on a paper towel or wire rack.
Sprinkle with lemon, lemon pepper and/or dill seed (optional). Dip in butter- serve warm.
