This "little lobster" is native to warmer waters, mostly around South and Central America. A sweet taste like a cross between lobster and crab. The sweetness shines in a chowder where a mirepoix. bay leaves, and some cayenne seasoning warm you up on a cold day. Now, I get a small 1 1/2 pound Maine lobster and break it down to enhanced the lobster flavor. Oh, and the sweet lobster tail and claw meat don't hurt anything. Then some texture with corn and potatoes to make it seem like a New England lobster bake in a bowl. I hope you like it.
