Yes, that's right. Canned lobster. The Camping Gourmet's best new friend.Jeff brought a frozen can of lobster home from his last trip to Nova Scotia (mostly to keep the fresh scallops cold). Normally I'd kind of question frozen lobster, but when you're camping with no refrigeration, frozen canned lobster is brilliant! We packed it in the cooler Friday morning, and was thawed out but still cold for Saturday night supper.
There were about three tails and four big claws in the can - altogether about two and a half small lobsters worth of meat. It's pre-cooked and soaked in brine. Surprising not rubbery.
We fried it up with some butter and pesto, added some tomatoes, and finished it off with white wine and cream.
Yum. Couscous with zucchini and green peppers rounded out the meal. This meal topped the time we had grilled octopus in Pacific Rim on the camp stove. Best anniversary meal yet!
This was the site of our elegant repast. We were camped next to some yahoos in the campground, so we thought this abandoned park trailhead called Forester's Footsteps would at least be quiet.

Those Foresters sure were rough on their playground equipment.
Romantic Dinner, here we come!
