Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Wonderful for seafood recipes
I'm really rather surprised to see the mixed reviews on here, although I wonder if some of the less favorable reviews have more to do with the recipes in which the base was used. Keep in mind, this is basically a replacement for bouillon cubes, but with a lobster flavor instead of beef or chicken. It packs an intense flavor and, yes, does have a lot of sodium (but not as much as a dried bouillon cube). For most recipes, this means easing up on any additional salt.
That said, I've used ... Read More
Rating:  - Too salty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ordered this specifically for a recipe for Chi Chi's seafood enchiladas/Cancun on Recipe Zaar. The recipe consistently got five stars rating. It called for a tablespoon of lobster base (for a half recipe). I followed the recipe exactly, adding no salt and using no salt butter. The dish was so salty that we threw it out. Later, while trying to figure out what went wrong I found that this particular lobster base has 800 mg of sodium per tsp. So, I had used 2400 mg of sodium in a recipe for 4-6 enchiladas. ...

Rating:  - This one is my favorite
Of the Better Than Bouillon lineup, I've used chicken, mushroom, beef, vegetable, ham and lobster; they are all very good (much better than any other bouillon I've tried), but lobster stands out as both unusual and good: complex, balanced, not fishy.
Here's what I've been using it for recently: I separate a big bunch of
CHARD into leaves and stems, slice the
CHARD STEMS fairly small and sauté them for a few minutes in
WALNUT OIL; add a teaspoon of
LOBSTER BOUILLON, some ... Read More
Rating: - not as expected
Didn't taste like I thought it should. Kinda awful. It went into the garbage.
Rating: - Soup, sauce or seasoning
Lobster base is delicious in a variety of contexts. I have made seafood sauce for pasta, Seafood Nuberg over a pastry shell. Seafood soup becomes a quick and simple favorite. Any type of seafood can be enriched with this product. I have made stuffing for fish using this lobster base to season the bread and veggies. It's great in stuffed clams. It simply adds wonderful flavor to all things from the sea, fish, clams, crab, scallops, as well as lobster. It's the missing ingredient in recipies I have tried to copy ... Read More
