My favorite seafood stores in Los Angeles (Santa Monica Seafood) and in New York (The Lobster House in Chelsea Market or Eataly) sells lobsters for around 1500 pesos per kilo, but my older son, Jeffrey, who is always on the lookout for a bargain, turned me on to a store in Chinatown in New York where it’s half that. We either steam it and douse it with butter and lemon juice or Jeffrey stir fries the lobsters with garlic, ginger and scallions and splashes it with soy sauce. Sometimes, I make lobster rolls…my cholesterol level is going up as I write this…

There are Clawed Lobsters in the Philippines, Back in the 1990’s i used to see fishermen carrying big Clawed lobsters in their baskets. I believe there is still existing Clawed lobsters in the wild specificaly in the souther luzon, Philippines.

I have to confirm on my vacation this coming December 2011.

I was just googling some tips for steaming LARGE Lobsters when I noticed this website (thanks).

We live close to Boston, MA (U.S.A.) and we are about to feast upon two 4.5 lb Maine Lobsters that we purchased (live) today from James Hook & Co. at the Boston waterfront.

The 4 lb (and up) lobsters were on sale for $5.99 U.S. per lb. (roughly 600 pesos per kilo).

My wife is from General Santos and we lived in Cebu for 2 years before moving to the U.S.A.
We used to purchase slipper lobster from the supermarket for about 550 pesos per kilo.

For us, the only way to prepare lobster is to steam it in salted and sweetened (with a can of Sprite or 7up soda) with seaweed in the water also. When it’s ready we crack them open and dip each piece in clarified butter (with a tiny touch of lemon juice).

Mabuhay and enjoy!!

Yup I wonder why here in the phils we dont have the clawed lobsters? I also cooked a couple of lobster last month.

Just like other crustaceans, you just have to cook them properly to maintain tenderness of the meat. I love the basic lemon butter dip/sauce for the lobsters.

Missed Coron… and the lobsters…Used to go there a lot in the early 90’s… It was seafood all week since you can only buy meat once a week-on sundays..

@Phil…If you don’t have access to a fresh cows milk you can use a cream instead . Do not use commercial milk which has a very low fat content. However here’s some link for you to try using cream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oropJD0CUxI
