With fall finally beginning here around the midwest, I was hoping to find a good loster Bisque recipe. I did a search and didnt find anything? I have tried it before but , not much luck.
I’m sure the stock is an important part of the making, I guess when I cut into them ( Bugs ) Im not sure what is good to use in making the stock or broth, also?

Funny, one of the local markets here has Maine lobsters on sale for $8.99/lb so I was thinking of making a bisque this weekend too.
My lobster stock is made with:
- lobster shells
- fennel bulbs
- carrots
- celery
- a few garlic cloves
- a little tomato paste
- H20
I fill up the pot and cook it down until it achieves the flavor I want (salt to taste).
For the bisque, I’ve just winged it in the past which means the stock is warmed up, add a little tomato puree (fresh peeled romas) and a little sherry and let that simmer. Before plating in a bowl, I add a touch of heavy cream (or whole milk). Finally, into each serving bowl, I add some lobster meat that has been warmed up in butter and a sprinkling of chopped chives.
If you find a killer recipe for the bisque, post it!
