I personally think lobster is at its best when simply steamed. Often, when its served poached, I notice it has this different consistency. Still delicious, but nothing beats lobster at a wooden picnic table on some dock with a plstic bib and drawn butter, IMO.

I had a very good lobster dish a couple of weeks ago where the tail, and claws were placed on a bed of tagliatelle and surrounded with a mint foam. I almost always prefer claw meat to tail meat.

As I'm sure you're aware preffering the claw to the tail is a tad unusual. Interestingly (or not) when I was younger and first started eating lobster I had the same preference. At some point I switched preffs, but both are very good. I won't eat the little chalky rubbery finger parts of the claw though. <font color="pink"> </font>
