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!
