Topic: Lobster in curries

[london]

I've managed to obtain some cheap cooked frozen lobster tails that I want to use in a curry, how should I go about it, should I just add it for the last couple of minutes of cooking or warm it another way and add after cooking.

Thanks in advance for you advice.

You very lucky person. A real dilemma for me.

Eat it as a non curry dish - a real pull on this one.

Saying that I know a lot of people rave on king prawn curry. Something I must try if I ever come across BIR that specialises in fish so to speak.

I would pre cook and add at end. Saying that meat cooks well in the liquid of a curry and the flavour of the lobster into the curry sauce.

I guess its got to be cook in the curry but short ie at the end well after the base.

You very lucky person.

I know the OH work for an upmarket supermarket and new EU rule mean they can't have cooked and raw fish or seafood together, so they sold off the cooked stuff to the staff, so we ended up with 10 Maine lobster tails(425g) for under 30 quid and a Kilo of king prawn for under 7 quid.

Hi London
Lucky indeed, there was a time not that long ago, where I could win 10 fresh local Lobsters on a blind card, down at my local pub.
This year I paid a fiver each for fresh local Tiger Prawns, sign of the times

Is there a <gobsmacked> icon available ?  More seriously, CT (amongst others) has advocated cooking or part-cooking these lobster tails in various ways, yet London clearly wrote :

(my emphasis).

No need to parcook the lobster then London.   :;D
Just straight in the Jinga Chilli Roshun, very tasty dish and works well with Lobster and Monk Fish

Chewy,

Thanks for the advice. What's a blind card?.

Hi London
Just an old fashioned fund raiser, for Dart, Domino, and Football teams within the pub

Basically you sell the 28 numbers on the card, lets say for

Chewy,

Domino teams, how the other half live, or is it a pizza eating competition.

London, you could apply the same means to raise funds for the local croquet team
