Bump, going to do up some more this weekend but my question is, where can I find larger tails? The Safeway ones are always so small.

haven't been to the location in a while so I don't know if they have any larger tails.
why not go to an asian supermarket and get live lobster?
Boyd's fish market on 14st and 16th ave?
Because I don't have the courage/heart/skill to kill a live lobster.Originally posted by G

Man Up! Or you can put them in the freezer for like 5-10 minutes before you slice them in half. Make sure to stick a chop stick up the rear to let all the liquid out first.Originally posted by Redlyne_mr2

Never tried but I am sure you can get the fish monger to cut it in half for you. Try the fish store where Lamba supermaket is.
I find them easier to make in the oven/under the broiler.
Cut the shell lengthwise with a pair of scissors on the top. If you carefully get your fingers under the shell (be careful the cut edges are sharp)you can gently pull the meat up on top of the shell in one piece(leave the end attached at the very end of the tail). Then slice slightly down the middle to remove the poop tube (sorry don't know the real name for this). I put a bit of seasoning salt on top and you are good to go. Should look similar to the tails you get at the Keg.
Broil in the oven on low until the meat is firm and no longer translucent (about 8 minutes).

live lobster is superior only when ultra fresh. frozen lobster is caught and flash frozen on the boat (like pretty much all sushi grade fish), and is thus very high quality. the problem with trying to keep live lobster is that once they are removed from the cold and high pressure, they stop eating, which degrades both the shell and meat. unless you can get super fresh lobster, frozen is often a good way to go. just my dumb opinionOriginally posted by G

If you are in the south end of the city, hit up North Sea Fish Market by Willowpark Wines. I haven't been disappointed with anything I have bought there. If they have it, grab some chilean sea bass. Soooooo good
Otherwise, I agree with the suggestion for Billingsgate.

O M G, Chilean sea bass. I do a super easy recipe of the just the fish salted and peppered, with lots of soy sauce, slices of ginger/garlic layered around the fish a bit, put into a casserole dish, cook it in the microwave, can't remember how long, but it essentially steams the fish in the dish with the lid, then at the maybe last 5 mins of cooking, I chop up cilantro, and green onions, put on top, and voila, so good. The sauce itself is the fish juices/oils mixed with the soy sauce. Yes I know, I can steam the fish in a better way but this is a one dish cleanup

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
^ That sounds eerily similar to mine
Soy Sauce, Oyster sauce, little bit of peanut oil, cilantro, garlic, ginger, scallions and I thrown a hot pepper or two in there for good measure. Marinate it for the day and bake it or bbq it.
I made it Sat night for a bunch of us with a spinach, mushroom, onion saute, veggies and dirty rice.
I love Chilean Sea Bass So good
mmmmm
Also, cant believe beyond doesnt have a cook forum yet..
Life is a Gamble.

Why don't you come over to my place and we'll swap recipes? And I am saying this under the assumption you are a female.
But yeah, the recipe can be used with any kind of white fleshed fish actually, even whole fish. I've substituted halibut in lieu of the sea bass once and even though it wasn't as smooth/soft fleshed and fatty as the sea bass, it was pretty good. But damn so expensive.

Your assumption is correct lol
Since I started using sea bass, I have had a hard time going back to halibut. At the North Sea Fish Market... I got 4 good size portion (about 6oz a piece) and it cost me around $26. Not too bad in my books....
Yup they are cold blooded so I throw them in the freezer for 10 min or so. They pretty much just go to sleep..... then... "I Kill you" and on the charcoal grill.Originally posted by G

I would have a hard time doing it when they are all active n' shit, but out of the freezer its easy.

Gotta eat a lot of lobster to make up for the $4000 price tag, especially when you can pith them with an awl for next to nothing

I think their main complaint is that they did not receive the stolen property they paid for.
You can try Boyd's Lobster Shop. Never tried them but they have a special with the Calgary Sun; buy a $100 gift certificate for only $50.
So you can get $100 worth of seafood for $50!

i want in when u get bigger lobster tails
Sounds good but whenever I've had frozen lobster it really pales in comparison to just regular live lobster bought from the store. Just from my experience.Originally posted by nonlinear
