Poor Man's Lobser - My Way

Delicious, cod fish prepared to resemble the taste of lobster!
INDREIDIENTS: Cod Fillet
1 cup sugar
1 lemon
Melted butter

[@arlenecordio2586]

I am from the east coast. Maine lobster is the best tasting lobster. Add 2 tbsp. sea salt to the water. Good lobster meat always has that brine taste.

Thanks for the tips! Take Care!

[@mbm887]

I was Navy Spec War in the Pacific for ten yrs. Every dive we would bring up warm water lobster, which is far superior to Maine lobster. More importantly, there is a lobster that is called sand slipper which is the best lobster that I have eaten.

[@skoggit]

Thanks for sharing this. I myself prefer the warm water lobster over the Maine Lobster. I have never heard of the sand slipper lobster. I will have to look that one up! Thanks for the info! Take Care!

I tried this recipe, when it came time to eat. The only thing it tasted like, was sweet cod.

[@skoggit]

Might have not cooked it right or something! Take Care!

[@captmoa]

Tastes nothing like lobster. I'll try it with a different fish.

[@skoggit]

Mine had a similar taste to the lobster. Could be the fish you used. Take Care!

[@Operafreak9]

I have seen this recipe elsewhere and the ook added a quarter cup salt to the boil. That may be too much. Might try less but it was hafl sugar,half salt and lemon,of course.

[@chickenfriedbobcat6090]

Never heard of this! I love crab and lobster but I have to go to the buffet at the casino to be able to afford it. Gonna try it tomorrow night and see how it tastes. thanks.

[@skoggit]

Let me know what you think! As for Casino's, if Mrs. Skoggit gets in a casino, well I had to have security get her out so we could go home the last time I took her to one! lol! I tell you she would live there if they let her! My mother which has passed away was the same way! Take Care!

[@silvershark2843]

Nice vid bro!

[@skoggit]

Thank you! Take Care!

[@08Budweiser]

It sorta tasted like lobster because i was telling myself it was supposed to, but my wife said no and then it didn't to me either. That said it still tasted ok.

[@insomb]

Agree, I didn't add enough sugar or lemon though

[@skoggit]

Glad you gave it a try and made a comment! Thanks for watching! Take Care!

[@charliessmokinbbq6736]

That looked good my brother, hope all is well with you.

[@skoggit]

Hey my brother, doing pretty good! The fish was really good! Take Care!

[@Cathytown222]

Good Lord A'mighty, take that fish out of the water! It was done 4 minutes before you finally took them out. (It's OK. Almost everyone overcooks fish.) Your fish were caught in the convection cell of the rolling boil -- otherwise, they'd have floated and stayed at top.

[@skoggit]

@Cathytown222, the only thing is the fish wasn't overcooked! I take it you don't do much cooking! Take Care!

[@shawnchamberlain7543]

I always found the term "Poor mans lobster" funny.... back in the 17th century actual Lobster was "Poor mans lobster" since it was only fed to the financially deprived and prisoners.... Great video though, I'm going to give it a try.

[@skoggit]

As history has it, lobster was considered as the lowest of the low and only the poor or like you say deprived prisoners and also slaves were fed this. Now only the rich can afford it. I wouldn't have minded being a deprived prisoner during the day! I would have ate well, everyday! Take Care!

[@maxroman1198]

Max Roman It did taste like lobster but it was not *_satisfying_*, maybe there is some nutrient in lobster that my body is craving.

[@skoggit]

Could also be the fish! Take Care!

[@joec.743]

is the texture the same. I will try it but I like my cod also

[@skoggit]

The sugar and lemon causes the texture to be the same as that as lobster. Really good stuff! Hope you will give it a try sometime! Take Care!

[@joec.743]

yes thanks I will

[@TheRealJoeyB]

What does the sugar do Skogg The Real JoeyB Dallas Fort Worth Texas USA utilizing the Traeger Timberline 1300

[@skoggit]

Hey my friend, the sugar adds a little sweetness to the fish and the lemon kind of makes the fish appear more like lobster. Really good stuff here. If you like lobster, you will like this! Take Care!

[@mcswainj]

skoggit I never realized lobster was sweet cause I love lobster/crab, do you have to add the sugar?

[@gardini100]

i give you like for the ide ..but lobster is far from a favorit in my home :)

[@skoggit]

I respect that, I have friends which don't care for any kind of shell fish! Thanks for watching! Take Care!

[@bonnielee7134]

Thanks for the recipe. I tried it. It didn’t taste like lobster to me. I tried it with paprika. I tried some cardonom. I tried some garlic salt. Tried lemon. Dipped them all in butter and I just wasn’t getting that lobster flavor. So I flavored the whole dish with a sprinkle of each that I tried, squeezed some sriracha on it, squeezed some lime on it and poured the rest of the butter on it and mixed it all up. That was quite tasty in case anybody out there who felt it was bland as I did. I enjoyed my fish. I added some lo mein noodles ( you could use fettuccine or even spaghetti) to the water, cooked that for six minutes. The sauce I made was a squeeze of sriracha so you can see how much your working with, melted butter, lemon and lime juice ( fresh ) fresh minced small garlic clove, soy sauce, sprinkle of powdered ginger and a tad bit of sesame oil. The garlic kind of cooks in the butter when you heat the butter up then you add the other ingredients. No measurements. I just did it by eye. Pour that on the noodles, sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese on top ( it makes it savory ) and mix it al in as best you can and enjoy. The fresh taste of the lemon and lime were good and I recon some shrimp would taste good in that. I’ll have to try that next time.

[@bonnielee7134]

The lo mein was cooked to package direction the spaghetti or fettuccine will take longer.

[@skoggit]

Thanks so much for sharing your recipe with all of us! I will have to give this one a try! Sounds delicious! Thanks again! Take Care!

[@skoggit]

Thank you! Take Care!

[@bcmasur]

steaming is better than boiling. steam is hotter than boiling water. the boiling water just robbed all the nutrients from the food, unless you plan to drink all that water afterward. Microwaves destroy vitamins so there goes some more nutrition. guess that's why you call this "Lobser" Big hug...

[@skoggit]

Hey my friend, thanks for all your pointers but for this dish the boiling water is the star player. The sugar adds the sweetness to the fish and the lemons gives the right constistincy to the fish. Thanks again! Take Care!

[@bcmasur]

Joe Blow ok. gotcha.

[@splash5974]

If you're worried about nutrients and health, your not eating stuff like this thats drenched in butter!

[@bcmasur]

That's cute. hey, go for the atlantic caught, or homegrown fish, avoid the nuclearized Pacific. Thank you, U.S. gov for 3.11.2011 Fukushima, thank you...almost seven years later and it's STILL melting down

Hey my friend, thanks for the advice! Take Care!
