This was the exact recipe I grew up on in Scarborough Maine, made it Friday night with an over stuffed Lobster roll (JJ Nissan roll, butter and grilled) and for 15 minutes, all was well in the world, Thank you Marion.

This is a great base but for color and sweetness add paprika and sherry to taste.

I'm originally from Maine also & this is true Lobster stew. I sometimes add just a touch of sherry when sauteing the lobster, to give it a different flavor. Making it the day before makes it much more flavorful. This is a Christmas tradition for our family.

Everything about this recipes sounds great.. I want to try it but I just can't stand the thought of dropping live lobsters into boiling water. Guess I'll stay fat & eat desserts instead.. It sure sounds good tho!!!

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.
