21 Pound lobster caught off Cape Cod Beach. (Page 4)

Barbara the Jew: yes agreed i like sashimi with salmon

Corwin: It's very easy to make. I taught myself. You just need one of those little bamboo rolling-up thingies. And buy the seaweed sheets, sticky rice, rice wine vinegar, pickled ginger, and some Wasabi. Then you just get inventive and throw whatever you want in it.

The rice is boiled with a dash of rice-wine vinegar and some ginger, and when it's done you spread a thin layer onto about 2/3 of the middle of the sheet from left to right, add your chosen ingredients, and roll it up like a joint. Then just cut it into short lengths with a serrated knife. It's very easy, and costs a fraction of what it does at a sushi bar. I highly recommend you try it.

You could probably find some instructions online too.

Barbara the Jew: i saw a sushi kit on amazon it comes with a recipe book as well. check it out OCD

Corwin: For sure... you won't regret it.

To be quite honest, it's actually a lot of fun to make... and you can get inventive and experiment. My favorite is with a stick of cucumber in the middle, some chives, smoked Salmon, and some carrots cut into thin strings that add a dash of color and a little crunch. And when we have it (sorry Barb) Lobster meat.

OCD_OCD: I want to learn how to make the toppings also. I really need to learn how to make the sticky rice because I suck at cooking rice unless it is Basmati rice. A long grain rice kicks my butt.

Corwin: Basmati is my favorite too. The sticky rice is very easy to make. Normally you try not to make rice stick.... you just have to make sure you buy the proper rice. It practically cooks itself.

I just peeked in my cupboard...... Calrose Rice.

OCD_OCD: Of all of the things in the world that I can cook, rice is an abomination. LOL

I can cook couscous and any type of pasta but long grain or wild rice? Forgeddaboudit.

Corwin: I'm with you on that one. Rice took me a while to master too..... a different animal altogether than pasta. But don't worry about the Calrose rice... easiest of the rices I think.

I do so love talking about cooking.... it's one of my passions, and the Food forum on wireclub is dead. lol

Corwin: When I make sticky rice, I just use 2 parts water, 1 part Calrose, add the rice wine and ginger, bring it to a boil and cook until it looks like you can't see water anymore.... turn the heat off, throw a lid on it, and let it sit for 15 minutes. No stirring or anything. Simple.

jink88: Very interesting post. I only like Halibut no lobster or crab or Monkfish lol. That 21 lb. lobster would likely be tough as nails. They should have thrown him back.

I Found The Exit: Seafood is gross.

Corwin: Seafood is the best. The funky flavor inspires an ancient memory of what our distant ancestors ate... very very distant. If your chicken sandwich, left in the glove-box of your car smelled like fish, you would throw it out.... but we harvest those critters fresh from the ocean and our mouths water.

Kind of strange, really.

Barbara the Jew: thank you for that image

Corwin: LOL.

I Found The Exit: I'm with Barbie

that includes all fish too...

Corwin: Well.... there's nothing like a good steak... I will admit... but strange how I am drawn to fishy-tasting things.... I'm a country-boy... pork, beef, chicken, is the norm..... but I just love that fishy stuff.

Barbara the Jew: Pork

I Found The Exit: Steak, medium rare, sauteed portabella mushrooms

Corwin: I like my steak rare... not medium-rare.... I like some blood in my meat.

Corwin: Barbie!... You don't like pork?? It's the most wonderful animal to eat... you get Ham, Bacon, Ribs, Sausage..... oh, so many more products that it would take an hour to mention them..... the Pig is a wonderful, magical animal indeed. mmmmmmmmm

Barbara the Jew:

Barbara the Jew: i like chicken and beef.

Corwin: LOL. Well, it's not for everyone... once you get a taste for pig though... you can never go back... SO delicious...... no..... we call it Pork. mmmmmmmm

Corwin: I'll bet that Calybonos is running for cover at this point.

A handsome, yet probably delicious pig.

Stassi SUR: There is nothing delicious about swines (piggeroooos) yucky, yucky, yucky.

There is nothing delicious about seafood (fishy, smelly,slimy) gross, gross, gross.

So, what to eat?

skinless, boneless chicken, filet mignon (well done), egg whites, urugula, crumbled blue cheese, coco water like Zico, pasta tossed with EVOO just to name a few.

For dessert? Mcdonald's Hot Fudge Sundae with Cherry Topping and peanuts.

But that's just me.

Bon Appetit just the same!

PS. About the giant lobster-- did they make tons of lobster rolls out of it? How did it get so big like that?
