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



Poor Man's Lobster (Haddock) w/ melted butter image

I grew up Catholic, so haddock on Fridays during lent was a tradition. This was one of my favorite ways of having it, and it is so easy. Lobster tail is my favorite food, and although this is not as fantabulous as lobster tail, it will give you that fix when you need it for a lot less $$$! It is so good!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lb haddock, fresh or thawed (if frozen) - i always use icelandic
2 Tbsp old bay seasoning
2 Tbsp vinegar (plain old white)
1 can beer (i use light)
salt & pepper
lemon wedges
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!

Try this recipe for chicken that is marinated and grilled, dipped in butter and tastes amazingly like lobster. My Dad actually got this recipe from a friend of his, and it's too wonderful to keep it a secret! Serve with clarified butter for dipping.

Time 3h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
2 teaspoons ground ginger
½ cup pineapple juice
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

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.

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.

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb frozen haddock
2 cups water
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning or 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
melted butter

Steps:

  • Combine first four ingredients put in a large sauce pan.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Drain liquid.
  • Serve with melted butter.

Tips:

  • Choose a mild white fish. Cod is a classic choice, but you can also use haddock, flounder, or tilapia.
  • Make sure the fish is fresh. Fresh fish will have a mild, briny smell and firm, moist flesh.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Fish is best when it is cooked just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a flavorful butter. A good quality butter will add a lot of flavor to the dish. You can use regular butter, or you can try a flavored butter, such as garlic butter or herb butter.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. You can use a variety of seasonings to flavor the fish, such as lemon, dill, or Old Bay seasoning.

Poor man's lobster is a delicious and affordable way to enjoy the flavors of lobster without the high price tag. This dish is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
