MM, I know what you mean by “hotdog buns with the sides sheared off” because that is exactly it — the hotdog buns were made with the opening on top, instead of the sides! But that kind of hotdog bun is hard to find outside of Northern New England, so puede na the hotdog buns.

teny, I suppose dried tarragon might work, just don’t put too much of it. Although I do prefer fresh herbs with this dish since the lobster is rather delicate and sweet. I am not sure about the apple but it’s worth a try on a small portion of the dish you are mixing up…

MM can I use dried tarragon? Aside from cucumber can you use a thin slice of apple?

Ana, they have both live spiny lobsters alive in tanks and recently deceased spiny lobsters at the Seaside Mart in Baclaran. You can also get what I call mud lobsters at the same market. I suspect Farmer’s market in Cubao would also have them. I would be wary of the frozen ones, I haven’t had much luck with them, but some of the upscale groceries such as rustan’s and unimart sometimes carry them. Perkycinderella, if you are in Boston, eat some fried dough for me…thanks!
