Best Blushing Maine Lobster Cakes Recipes

POTATO-CRUSTED LOBSTER CAKES

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the fish with salt, pepper, and cream to make a mousse. Add the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Fold lobster meat into the mousse until it is completely mixed. Grate the potatoes and rinse under cold water until the water is clear. Drain and squeeze dry. Melt the butter and drizzle over the potatoes. Mix together with lemon juice.
• Divide the lobster meat into 3-ounce portions to make 8 cakes. Roll each portion into a ball. Individually roll each ball in the potatoes and press into cakes. Dredge the cakes in flour. Heat a medium saute pan until hot; add oil. When oil is hot, add 4 cakes to the pan. Lower the heat to medium and brown cakes on both sides. Drain cakes on paper towels. Serve hot with roasted vegetable salad.

MAINE LOBSTERBAKE

Steps:

• Rinse the clams well, then soak in fresh water for 30 minutes.
• Layer all ingredients in a seaweed wrap in this order: clams, potatoes, and onions next to each other on the bottom, then lobsters on top of them, then corn as the highest layer. Wrap very tightly with a double layer of foil making sure there are no holes in foil (essentially making a pressure cooker). Cover the foil pack with additional seaweed. Light a wood fire. Cook over fire for 30 minutes.
• Carefully open the foil wrap and take out the corn and lobsters so you can reach the potatoes and clams. Separate onto individual serving dishes. Serve with your favorite Garden Salad, Cornbread, and Blueberry Cake.
