Crab is way superior to lobster.
Any decent chef will tell you this.

Steak with lobster, prawn and cockles in a creamy sauce is to die for or just plain with lime and pepper.
Lobster and crab is cooked alive. I have cooked thousands, literally, and not seen any jump out screaming it is too hot! �� just boil in water and salt.
Enjoy and as she likes prawns, I'm sure she will like lobster especially if she likes crab or scallops as a similar texture but not flavour.

Thanks. I don't think she's had crab or scallops either yet, as we never go to seafood restaurants. I see English's has kids crab too - maybe she can try them both
Or perhaps we can go crazy with a starter of scallops too.

The last time I had this was in the steak restaurant in New York New York hotel Vegas, about a year ago! Fantastic.
I’m going to The Salt Room in a few weeks time, don’t think they have lobster on the menu at the mo.
A 12 year old wanting lobster. Excellent parenting Sir! She’ll be as pretentious as me by the time she’s 16.
Singapore Crab at the Urchin or Riddle & Finns... ohhh yes! Excellent value for money as well given how it takes about 45 minutes to eat it

Looking at their menu you are right, they don't. Somewhat surprising for an establishment that is primarily a seafood restaurant I would have thought.

mmm you have me salivating now. I can well remember devouring that very dish, at the late lamented Fishy Fishy a few years ago.
Yes and no, they can’t sell everything, the chef has choices to make. And given the high standard and reputation this place has, he/she has called it right I guess.
Crab is very different to Lobster . But superior ?
Native Lobster is best caught and eaten in the Summer months.

I guess you didn’t rate Marco Pierre White as a decent chef then.
Superior in taste I presume he meant. That is very much down to the individual of course.

I have always found them to be very expensive and not VFM and the one in Aldrington Basin to be much better. It is ironical that I was talking to my brother in law, a fisherman with his own boat, yesterday and he was saying exactly the same as we were discussing French fishing boats fishing off our shores and the number of French lorries with 40ft trailers who take fish from Aldrington back to France.
This thread has got me looking at Lobster Thermidor recipes, so some good comes from it.

My dad has said the same funnily enough, he usually uses the one at Aldrington Basin (the Lagoon) as well. I'm a creature of habit though, and the Monteum is handy for the Malpas Meats store there as well.
Plus Monteum always has bigger crab claws.
