Maine Lobster "Suada" Recipe

“Make sure the lobster is still moving when you cook it, otherwise your dish will taste like mush,” Mendes explained as he cut and cracked the lobsters. While Mendes was emphasizing the importance of using a fresh, live lobster when cooking, we know that cutting a live lobster seems scary. So at home, you can sever the lobster’s spinal cord just before cutting it open (this will kill the lobster quickly but will not ruin the quality of the meat). - Yasmin Fahr From Chef George Mendes of Aldea Click here to see the post From Maine to Portugal with Chef Georges Mendes
