Mmmm.. having grown up in a small Maine island fishing I know this is the one! This is the way my family has always made it. Luxuriously rich and delicious! For ultimate flavor I heat it through when making it, then refrigerate overnight and reheat gently the next day. Lobstah stew doesnt get any bettah!

It was okay...was very disappointed, as I thought I would get rave reviews. Just something lacking.

Try 1 stick of butter, 1 T of paprika, 1 lb of lobster, 2 cups whole milk, 2 cups evaporated milk, 2 cups of heavy cream. This is based on Morrison's of Portland, ME famous recipe.

It seems like a lot of 1/2 & 1/2(2 quarts) for 1 pound of lobster. There were not seasonings. Blah. I added some of the things suggested in other lobster recipes and I must admit I had to use frozen tails. I live in the midwest, no fresh lobster here. Hope it improves while it sits in the fridge.

This recipe was just not for me. I was a bit disappointed after all the good reviews for it.

This soup is reason people brave the Maine winters. I loved it. But I admit I added a little Old Bay seasoning to give it a little Maryland attitude.

I'm a Mainah and this is absolutely, authentically, MAINE. Delicious. We used a little extra lobster, but we were a bit piggish about it!

I lived in Maine for my first 22 years, and this is almost exactly the recipe my Grandfather made every weekend during lobster season! He usually used milk and a can of evaporated milk, which tastes pretty close to half-and-half but has less fat. Yummmmm!

Marion, thanks for the real recipe. I too am from coastal Maine but I add one thing to this basic recipe. When picking out the lobsters I save the roe and tomalley. I first saute the roe and tomalley with butter and then add the lobster. It adds a deeper richness to the stew. I also agree, make it at least a day ahead of time for best flavor. :)

I would also have to say that this is the way us Mainers make it...but we also need to add that the special touch with our soup is being able to cook our Maine lobster is fresh Maine ocean water to give it the real Maine lobster flavor.

That is not the way to make a good lobster stew. When you say it's a Maine recipe try asking a Mainer

This is absolutely an authentic recipe. My best friend, her parents and grandparents are all from Maine and make their living from the sea. This is exactly how they make their Lobster Stew. Sometime a few chopped scallions are added. Thanks Marion, for sharing.

I have lived in Maine for 33 years. This is lobster stew the way it should be! By making it the day before, the flavor is stronger. If you already have the lobster meat picked from the shell...this is a very simple meal. Very good!

Well, I am an actual Mainer, and I thought this was an excellant base for Lobster Stew. Here's the trick to give it more flavor: first, make the stew the night before, as it will intensify greatly over night. Secondly, most restaurants add half a bottle or so of clam juice to their stew. This really brings out the lobster flavor. Again, this is a great base for classic lobster stew.... coming from a MAINER (born and raised).
