Lobster napoleon, cognac cocktail sauce, avocado |

Fish, Seafood & Shellfish

Tasty starter prepared with lobster meat served cold in a cognac cocktail sauce and presented in alternative layers of diced avocado with lemon.

Note

Learn how to distinguish between a male lobster and female lobster. Under the abdomen, you will see appendages that look like small fins. There are 5 pairs. The first pair (closest to the head), is different from the other four and may help to differentiate the male from the female. In males, the first pair is large, hard and whitish. In the female the first pair is small and soft. The female lobster will take a few more minutes to cook.
