80 people all related to me. Scary to think about but I’ll keep them all on the other Cape. So my dish started with these girls swimming in Joey’s tank at noon and now they are red:
My strategy: claws and tails removed and chilled in the fridge overnight. (The knuckles and tamale the cook eats.) Then tomorrow morning take the meat out of the claws an tails, chop to the size that would fit on a crostini, mix with Mayo (just to barely coat) a touch of salt and bagged on ice in the cooler.
Crostinis will be fresh baggettes cut less than half inch slices and toasted in oven. A piece of fresh garlic gets rubbed onto the toasted piece and bagged.
Assembly at party the lobster meat into a chilled bowl and crostini around the edge on a larger platter. Am I missing something? (Besides Rubber Duck. She is not in the photo since she needs some tubby time.)
Good Morning Gloucester 
That sounds fun!!!!

I went ahead and yanked all the meat out and that will get chopped up in the morning with the dollop of mayo (Hellamanns gasp I know I grew up on the wrong Cape).
So I saved a head and a couple tail and claw shells for decoration. Since I am married to a microbiologist I have to soak in soap then I will rinse and bake them with the crostini so I don’t kill 31 first cousins with some kind of endotoxin. Who knew?

The final dish: as planned but Sue convinced me besides a little fresh squeezed lemon, salt, and mayo I also added some fresh tarragon out of the garden. The key for all above ingredients is to not add enough to even allow your tastebuds to taste the add ons. I could not tell there was lemon or tarragon although some people asked me what the spice was and they said oh, yeah, tarragon. I guess if you ate a leaf.
Reviews were universally “OMG this is the best lobster I have ever eaten”. And this from family who could easily comment that your dish tastes like mouse balls. It took about an hour but the bowl was licked clean and kids ran off with the lobster shells.
