How to Make Poor Man’s Lobster

Poor man's lobster is made from whitefish boiled in a sugary solution to give the meat a lobster-like taste. Monkfish is my preferred choice but any dense, meaty whitefish will do.

Thanks for the upload. You left out one very important conclusion in your video. Did the Monk fish taste like lobster. Did it?

Can you use a sugar substitute?

Folks. Do not waste your time or money trying this recipe. It DOES NOT work. I just tried it, using fresh cod fillets, and followed the procedure to the T. Sure, the fish chunks float, but when you scoop them out to set aside, they break apart. Leaving you with really good tuna salad, if you seasoned it. I used butter,fresh dill,garlic powder, and smoked paprika. As soon as you try to pick up a chunk with a fork, it crumbles. It is NOTHING like lobster, in texture or flavor. After a while, you need a spoon. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's not going to come out how you expect it to, after watching these videos. There is no substitute for real lobster. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

I don’t think a poor man is eating lobster 😂

I'm 65yo. I was born and bred in Cape Town South Africa. Grew up during Apartheid and ate plenty of crayfish (lobster), abelone, calamari. Also ate lots of offal including sheep brains. These were considered poor people food. Now these foods are served in high end restaurants at exorbitant prices. Crazy.
