We didn’t grow up with a lot of seafood on the farm. However, when I married a Cape Islander I quickly discovered there are as many different ways to prepare lobster as there are cape Island nicknames (everyone has a nickname here-there are a lot of common names so its helps a lot with communication to use the nickname assigned at birth haha).
This dip is one I was gifted by friends and have tweaked over the years for ease of preparation.
A food processor makes easy work of chopping the lobster for a smooth dip-able(?) dip. And none of us like chunks of onions so its nice they are grated finely first.
We serve this with a nice thick cut ruffled potato chip or a thin wheat cracker.
It’s also fantastic to smear over thick white bread to make a lobster grilled cheese from, and you will not thank me after getting addicted to those let me tell you!
For best results start with cooked Cape Sable Island Lobster meat. One -one pound lobster usually yields about 1 1/2 cups of meat.
