Lobster base is delicious in a variety of contexts. I have made seafood sauce for pasta, Seafood Nuberg over a pastry shell. Seafood soup becomes a quick and simple favorite. Any type of seafood can be enriched with this product. I have made stuffing for fish using this lobster base to season the bread and veggies. It's great in stuffed clams. It simply adds wonderful flavor to all things from the sea, fish, clams, crab, scallops, as well as lobster. It's the missing ingredient in recipies I have tried to copy from outstanding dinners I have been served at restaurants.

I'm really rather surprised to see the mixed reviews on here, although I wonder if some of the less favorable reviews have more to do with the recipes in which the base was used. Keep in mind, this is basically a replacement for bouillon cubes, but with a lobster flavor instead of beef or chicken. It packs an intense flavor and, yes, does have a lot of sodium (but not as much as a dried bouillon cube). For most recipes, this means easing up on any additional salt.
That said, I've used this not only for lobster bisque but also for a broth for seafood risotto and a paella and it makes for a wonderful dish that can't be beat except by your own lobster stock (and this is a lot cheaper). If you'd like a particularly good recipe for which you can use this stuff, check out the Seafood Risotto recipe at the Rustic Kitchen website. That's a restaurant in Boston that hosts a cooking show with a local celebrity chef -- the recipe is delicious. Bon appetit!

Thank you for carrying this product. My husband and I used to go to Chi-Chi's Restaurant many years ago before
they closed in Bowling Green, Ky. The Cancun Seafood Enchilada and Sweet Corn Cakes were our favorite. I was
able to find the recipe for the corn cakes in a cookbook I purchased, but I could never find the recipe for
the Cancun. I made several attempts to prepare our favorite dish, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't
come close. I finally just gave up, and then, a few weeks ago, I found the recipe on the internet.
I was so excited, and made my grocery list for the ingredients that were needed. Well, I found everything
I needed, but you guessed it, the lobster base.
I went back on-line and did a search on lobster base. After checking out all the companies that popped-up,
I decided on Amazon.com. I found the amount and cost range I was looking for. I placed my order and within
a few days I received it.
I surprised my husband one night for dinner with our long-awaited favorite dish and when we took our first
bites, we looked at each other and smiled. That was it, the taste I thought was lost forever, had been found.
Thank you for giving me my missing ingredient......Better than Bouillon Lobster Base!! Now I'm searching for
more recipes that I can use it in.
Thank you,
