Rustic Lobster Bisque
Butter-poached North Atlantic lobster in homemade shell stock, teeming with fresh thyme, celery, onions, plum tomatoes, heavy cream and aged sherry. Cracked pepper, crunchy sea salt and a few drizzles of chili oil..
“Bisque is a method of extracting every bit of flavor from imperfect crustaceans not good enough to send to market. In an authentic bisque, the shells are ground to a fine paste and added to thicken the soup. Julia Child even remarked, “Do not wash anything off until the soup is done because you will be using the same utensils repeatedly and you don’t want any marvelous tidbits of flavor losing themselves down the drain.” –Wikipedia
