POOR MAN'S LOBSTER

Steps:

• In a medium to large pot bring 2 quarts of water, sugar, and salt to a boil.
• Cut halibut into 2-3 large pieces (so it cooks faster) and add to water.
• Boil for about 10 minutes or until halibut is nice and flaky.
• In the meantime, melt butter in a pot, but do not boil.
• Remove halibut from water, squeeze a little fresh lemon on it and serve with melted butter (I like to completely submerge my halibut in the melted butter, much like you would do with lobster).

POOR MAN'S MOCK LOBSTER

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, oil, garlic salt, pepper, brown sugar, mustard powder, ginger and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil for about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. When cooled, place the chicken into a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Press out as much air as you can, seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marinate.
• Preheat a grill for medium-low heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate.
• Place the chicken on the grill and discard the marinade. Cook until chicken juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn as needed to keep the chicken from burning.

POOR MAN'S LOBSTER (HADDOCK) W/ MELTED BUTTER

Steps:

• 1. So easy. Mix beer with Old Bay, vinegar, & some salt & pepper in Dutch Oven or other large saucepan. Place haddock over top. Pour about a beer can full of water over top of haddock -- just enough to cover.
• 2. Turn heat to boil & boil covered for 20 minutes over med heat.
• 3. Remove haddock with large spatula & place on serving plate. Squeeze lemon juice over top. Serve with melted cups of butter. (Don't be alarmed if the haddock doesn't look beautiful when you take it out. Inside it's all nice & white & flaky).
• 4. Just as I do w/ lobster tail, I like to flake the haddock pieces & then let them sit in my melted butter for a minute as I eat. Enjoy!
