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.
