Do you cook with crab on special occasions?

We made it yesterday. Followed steps one and two. We added shrimp and two lobster tails. We didn't blend either. It was so good. Had some for breakfast too this morning. LOL 😂 😂

Replace the onions with scallions! You're welcome.

I don't usually rate or comment on anything. I made this today almost exactly as prescribed. I didn't have fish stock so I used vegetable stock and I put the whole pound of jumbo lump crab meat in. This is the best dish I've ever made at home and one of the best foods/soup I have ever had. Perfect! Great Job and thank you!

Too thin a consistency, crab meat did not stay on top of soup.  Added more thickening and more Old Bay

I used homemade chicken broth, added fingerling potatoes, and shrimp and cod, then finished off with a topping of green onion. Fantastic.

Used a tablespoon Old bay instead of a teaspoon. Added garlic powder, onion powder. Didn't have heavy cream, used half n half. Turned out very tasty and my family loved it too

Was really disappointed with this. Flavor wasn't there and the soup was too thin to be called a bisque. We ate a few bowls since we spent so much money on the crab. But then it ended up sitting in the fridge then went into the garbage. Such a waste.

My tweaks: Add an extra tbsp of flour for extra thickness, and add an extra Tsp of Old Bad AFTER the soup is pureed. Helps with the flavor.

Thank you for that. It was great. I  threw some bacon and green onions on top before serving.

Made this with Dungeness crab and had to use chicken stock (unsalted) because I couldn’t find fish stock anywhere (I had to make it today so the crab wouldn’t spoil). It is delicious!

I followed this recipe using king crab and it was a hit! I really like the flavor of the bisque from our local king crab shack and was looking to recreate it. This exceeded my expectations by far. Not too much tweaking of the recipe either. Only thing is that our store didn't have fish stock or old bay so we used vegetable bullion and creole seasoning.

Bisque was tasty. Needed to be thicker, more seasoning require. Color was poor!

Was delicious! Followed the recipe most of the way. Did add some pepper flakes and extra butter.

THIS is the fancy mac worthy of your holiday table.

If you want to spend money on lobster, the best way to use it is this delicious Lobster Bisque from Delish.com.

Lobster Bisque

carrots,

tbsp. all-purpose flour

c. seafood or fish stock

thyme

lobster meat, chopped

chives,

Yes! I don't want to deal with a live lobster.

Recipe is a hit flavor wise! I just wish it finished a little thicker. More flour next time?

Super easy and so delish! I happened to have all the ingredients including whole lobster and followed instructions and voila...my first lobster bisque perfect for a chilly afternoon in Maine. Will definitely do it again.

Great treat. I made it seafood bisque added shrimp and scallops.  Will make again.

This recipe rocks!  I made this over the weekend with a couple of leftover lobster tails.  This recipe is simple to follow and so delish!!!  Everyone that tried it, loved it.  Thank you so much for sharing this...  I highly recommend and will prepare again!

I made this for my 60th birthday dinner, along with coquilles st. jacques and filet mignon. The bisque was, surprisedly, the star! It has amazing flavor! I've been cooking forever, but have just learned about the building of flavors, as you teach above. Sure makes a difference. Thank you!
I plan to make it again, but will use more affordable shrimp this time.

YUMMMMMMM! Used cooked/shucked claws and knuckles from the fish counter. Added a bunch of fish sauce I always have around and used sherry, instead of white wine. So savory. And easy. Will definitely make again. Thanks!

Making tonight. Doesn’t the alcohol burn away as you cook?

I have to many crayfish,ohh what a dilemma you say.so I googled this recipe.what a winner !kids love it and go back for 2nds as do I..definetly make this one again  
Thanks

good flavor, did not come out creamy at all.

Simple recipe but presented in awckward sequence.  Make a roux, add  stock, cook 30 minutes, liquify.  Add cream and lobster and done!  I’ll make it again and try it with shrimp and or langostinos or crawfish.

This recipe turned out DELISH! I followed it to a T and it came out scrumptious! I cooked the lobster tails by placing them in salted, boiling water for 8-10 minutes. Then used the meat as directed. This recipe was so easy and the result tasted like I slaved away for hours. I served it with a nice toasty baguette. I will definitely make it again!

I used langostinos instead of lobster meat and previously made lobster stock. It was excellent.

I made this tonight for my friend’s birthday party dinner tomorrow and I have to say not only was it easy to make but I had to put it in the fridge in the garage so I wouldn’t be tempted to eat it tonight!! Deliciousness on a spoon!!
