Im going to the Miller and Carter for dinner tonight as its my other halfs 50th birthday today. Im planning on having a nice steak with sweet potato fries (as I know these dont spike me too badly) but I fancy having the lobster tail with it.
Has anyone else tried lobster and what were the effects?
I would normally have the mac and cheese side dish, but thats out the window now!
 
Lobster has no carbs in it so it will depend on how they cook it and what sauce it is in.
 
No carbohydrate in lobster flesh to consider. Might be some in sauce, but the less sauce the better - perhaps a dab of lemon mayonnaise.

Speaking as a marine biologist, I encourage you to check how and where the lobster was extracted from the sea. Use the search function on Marine Stewardship Council website - https://www.msc.org/ to search for sustainable seafood, and check https://www.msc.org/where-to-buy/dining-out/uk to see if Miller and Carter are a responsible eating place.
 
The lobster is plain and I always have my steak sauce on the side.
 
Enjoy your lobster. We have plenty of it here, and it's considerably cheaper than in UK, so very often just lobbed on the BBQ.

I'd suggest ensuring you have something with it, like melted butter (which it may naturally come with) as it can otherwise be a bit dry, unless done to perfection.

Now you have me salivating!
 
If cold, Mayo or hot, Thermidor ....dribble ......
 
I nearly had a Lobster once. I was asked which one would I like. I had a steak that night.
 
When I was working as a guide on seal and dolphin swimming tours in New Zealand, on day my boss returned from a SCUBA diving trip and handed me a parcel of damp newspaper and said I could take it home for my tea as long as I could tell what sex it was. I correctly interpretted the shape of telson (tail) as being male. Boiled in water with a bit of mustard powder, very tasty he was too - a rock lobster (Southern hemisphere species, which doesn't have big claws like Northern hemisphere lobsters).

That's West Indies / Caribbean, isn't it? Hope the lobster fishery is sustainably managed, or they won't stay cheap for long.
 
Sustainably managed? Do the boats going out and in at the dead of night know of such things?
 
I don't know about fisheries enforcement in Leeward Islands, but I wouldn't eat seafood anywhere until I had checked sustainability. You could try MSC website.
 
Under no circumstances should you eat lobster. You should send it over to St. Helens and I will tuck righ........no, no no I will ensure it is safely disposed of in the correct fashion. You don't have any spare potatoes as well by any chance I suppose?


I hope you enjoy your dinner. Miller And Carter food is really good. I just don't understand that awful onion bread they serve with everything. It tastes like an old bath sponge.
 
They had run out of lobster. :(
So I had steak, sweet potato fries, king prawns, scallop and glazed purple carrots. I was at 8.2 before going to restaurant and 6.3 when I got home! I need to go on the Miller and Carter diet!
 
My record is 5 Lobsters in 1nt. Legs , claws & every little bit !:D. Shame they had ran out 😱 still hope you enjoyed Stich 🙂
