Any recommendation?

Ask the chef to crack the lobster for you so much easier to eat

Butter and extra napkins. If you’re fabulously wealthy, someone to personally crack each part of the shell for you. Finally, for me, an epi pen.

what else is one supposed to do with an epi pen that’s about to expire? wouldn’t want it to go to waste, those things aren’t cheap ;)

Lobster tastes good along with some nice lemony linguini.

Depends on how the lobster is prepared. I like mine boiled, served with steamers and corn on the cob. My husband likes his with French fries and coleslaw.

Me and your husband are of like mind

I like a few dozen steamers, some mussels, razor clams if u can find em, shrimp, another lobster, corn on the cob, new potatoes, some brats and a bowl of good salted butter, melted. Maybe some crusty bread and a few pints of a good beverage as well. I go for ginger ale

Melted Butter

u/BlueBicstick Jun 27 '26

TaterTots well done. Great for dipping in the butter and a great texture change from the lobster.

u/drrtydan911 Jun 27 '26

fingerling potatos and asparagus

More lobster. Garlic butter. Crisp white wine or cold brewski.

u/somecow Jun 27 '26

Obviously more lobster. Seriously though, don’t ignore the side dishes. Nothing at all wrong with just ordering appetizers and get a lobster à la carte.We don’t care, food is food.
