Tuna Poke Lobster Rolls

August 26, 2019

Trying to hold on to the last vestiges of a pretty awesome summer. I ate a lot of really great lobster this year and one thing I have been wanting to do is put it with raw tuna. A lobster roll is often served cold so I felt like the temperature, the flavors, and the textures could all work together. For my first attempt at this, I went with a lobster roll-poke mash up. As I was mixing it up in a big bowl I got worried that this was a waste of expensive ingredients. The lobster gets sort of stained by the soy sauce and I couldn’t put my finger on what was happening with the smell, but as I was putting it into the roll and squeezed on the lemon, it all came together and tasted amazing.

I grabbed sushi grade tuna from a local asian market for this.

Mix it with the cooked lobster.

Then add cucumber, wakame seaweed, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, scallions, and chiles.

I was really happy with how these came out! I ate 2 of them!

I added the chilis on top cause I like my poke spicy.

1/2 pound sushi grade tuna
