With lobster season upon us, I thought it would be fitting to prepare a delectable spiny lobster dish. And while it may appear difficult, I assure you that this recipe is very easy to prepare and provides a five-star appearance with a world-class taste that you would only expect to find in the finest seafood restaurants. With just a hint of curry, the coconut milk and lime zest infuses the gentle lobster with a spectacular Thai flavor. You’re special someone will be extremely impressed.

Perfectly Poached…

Skill Level (two out of five stars)

This gentle method of cooking your favorite fish retains all of the gentle flavors from the fish on your plate. It is best to use fairly hearty fillets (one inch thick) from grouper, mutton snapper, cobia, or any other white meat flaky fish. Fresh dolphin or wahoo steaks will work equally as well. Perfectly poached fish is fairly simple to prepare and requires less than fifteen minutes of cooking. This is a gentle, elegant dish full of mouth-watering flavors which anyone can prepare. The colorful dish can be served to guests at your next dinner party and also doubles as the perfect meal during any night of the week. Try it, you’ll love it!

If an explosion of flavors is what you are seeking, this succulent dish is for you. As a full-time chef and avid angler - and now privileged to be Florida Sport Fishing’s in-house seafood cook extraordinaire - I find myself constantly exploring new realms of taste, color and flavor combinations. With just a little bit of effort and fresh ingredients, all of us can create delicious seafood medleys that are both easy to prepare and will leave dinner guests salivating for more.
