Lobster — Smoke That!
Vinalhaven Smoked Lobster dip (cherry wood-smoked-style).
You may be familiar with smoked salmon and smoked trout. But Robert Young wants you to get to know smoked Maine lobster.
His Vinalhaven Smoked Lobster company is named for Vinalhaven, a small island 12 miles off the coast of Maine, where Young fishes.
For the past decade, he’s been catching fresh lobsters aboard his boat, then steaming them, before extracting the meat to smoke over either cherry or hickory chips. The flesh is then either preserved in oil or turned into a lusty dip.
