Lotsa Tail for the Bear (Plus a Cheesesteak)
My Final Birthday Present!
This 16 ounce Tail might not be big to most of you guys in Lobster Country, but it’s definitely the biggest I’ve ever Cooked, bought, or eaten!
This was one of the things Bear Jr. got me for my 71st Birthday, in fact this was the last thing I had that he got me.
I thought about what to do with it, and came up with what turned out to be Awesome.
All I did was clean it up good, then cut the shell off, leaving a nice big hunk of Naked Lobster Tail.
Then I rinsed it off, and got out my Trusty old $7 Fillet Knife, and sliced it into 11 slices, each about an Inch Thick.
Coated them all, both sides, with Olive Oil, and Old Bay, and put them in a container & into my Fridge. (Also added some Lemon Juice)
4 hours later I put a bunch of Butter in a Copper Pan, and dropped my Lobster slices in the pan.
I watched them closely to get them done completely, without them getting tough from being over-done.
Meanwhile:
The day before this Lobster Meal, Mrs Bear took me to a Dr Appointment, about 25 miles from home, and on the way back we stopped for Sammies. I got a Nice Big Cheesesteak & French Fries, and She got a Webber.
So We ate most of the Fries on the way home. I was munching away on them, and whenever her hand would come over to my side of the Car, I’d stick a French Fry in it, and that would get rid of the hand for about a mile or two.
Then when we got home, I ate half of my Cheesesteak, and put the other half in the Fridge.
So the next day I pulled the other Half of my Cheesesteak out of the Fridge, nuked it up real nice & Hot, and plated it.
Then I surrounded the Cheesesteak with all 11 slices of Lobster Tail on my plate.
I poured all the Lobster-Butter juices from the Pan into a Bowl for Lobster Dipping, and I was in Lobster Heaven.
I knew I wouldn’t eat all the Tail, but I figured I’d plate it all, and put the leftovers in the Fridge when I’m done.
I’m the only one of the two at the Bear Den who will eat any kind of Fish or Seafood, so it doesn’t matter what I do to the leftovers.
Everything was Awesome, and the leftovers lasted a couple days, but I turned it into snacks by slicing the leftovers into little slices for dipping a little at a time——Makes it all last longer!!!
So that’s about it for that long drawn out Birthday Eating Thing.
Thanks for stopping by again,
Bear
