Ingredients
- 1 large live lobster, about 2 to 3 pounds
- 1 small box Ritz crackers, about 4 ounces
- 1/4 cup drawn butter
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper
- 1 pound steak fries
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 paper bag
- Malt vinegar, to taste
- 2 fresh lemons, split in half
Method
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Preheat the vegetable oil for frying a large skillet.
- Begin by splitting the lobster, turn the lobster on its back, with one hand hold down the claws.
- Place the top of the knife at the tip of the head of the lobster.
- Push the blade down through the lobsters body and cut it in half lengthwise.
- Remove the brains, liver, and coral.
- Using the back of your knife, crack the claws in several places.
- (This will allow for easy removal of the meat after cooking.)
- Place the lobster, shell side down, on a baking sheet.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the crackers, butter, parsley, and lemon juice.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
- Season the inside of the lobster with salt and pepper.
- Fill the cavity of the lobster with this filling and cover the tail meat with the excess.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the meat is white and the crust is golden brown.
- Place the steak fries in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate.
- Place the fries in the paper bag with salt, pepper and a sprinkling of vinegar.
- Shake the bag a couple of times to season the fries completely.
- Serve the fries with the baked lobster.
