Lobster recipes

My mom's always wanted to try lobster, and since her 50th birthday is coming up, I decided I'd cook a lobster tasting dinner for her. I'm putting toget a menu, and I'm looking for recipes that celebrate lobster as well as recipes that compliment it, for most of the courses. Do you have personal or family favorites? Tips and suggestions of any kind are appreciated.

I'm a pretty decent cook, and while I don't have experience with lobster yet, I'm doing as much as I can to prepare for this occasion. Also, there will probably be suggestions to just take her to a place that specializes in lobster. It's not an option here, it's not easily available to us.

I'm not sure if this is s good place for this post, but I'll try. I've posted in a cooking subreddit as well (I'll consider other places too) and I'm just copying my post here, just to be transparent.

Safe to eat the rest of the tail? I cut this skin off. Other tail looked normal.

What online source would you recommend for ordering large lobsters?

I like large (10lbs) lobsters. That's hard to find where I am. I noticed there are shops online that will mail lobsters around this size, however. Do any of you recommend any shops online that mail you lobster?

Lobster Nativity Scene

I was in the holiday spirit, so I made this little nativity scene w/ Baby Jesus boiling in a pot & Mary Lobster and Joseph Lobster and the three wise birds.

Evidently, the guardian angels are sea stars and, of course, the manger is instead a fishing stage.

also for anyone in Newfoundland, Mary is Mary Brown, and Joseph is Joey Smallwood

To boil or to steam? That is the question

What is the best way to get a perfect lobster? Poached?

Is this a notch?

I know some—especially Maine lobsters—have notches on females that produce eggs. The spinerettes were cut off.

Am I going to get sick?

I am at a sandals in the Caribbean and ate a bite of what seems like undercooked lobster. It was clear and soft. I didn’t realize till after I swallowed it. I’m worried that this is going to ruin part of my honeymoon.

Will I get sick?

Is this real lobster?

Is this real lobster? It’s spongy and gray almost like chicken nugget or artificial meat.

$1 for 1lb of lobster from LaRochelle's Auburn ME

$1 gets you 20 bodies. 2 adults gets the meat out in about an hour. A glass of wine and good conversation with your spouse. Then lobster rolls for a week!
