Ina's Lobster and Corn Fritters


Our beach club has lobster night every Wednesday throughout the summer.....we love it! However, it's always more than I can eat so I bring home the lobster leftovers and usually make a salad with them. I remember marking this recipe in Ina's book so last week, I made her fritters with the leftover lobster. YUM!
Ina makes an lovely sauce to go with them, but I didn't want to take the time, so just mixed some sour cream and mayo together with a little lemon juice and it was all I needed. Perfect, easy summer dinner. You could use shrimp too.

  9. (Omg ... just left a great comment and hit the wrong button! Blogger 1st world problems! We should do a post on that, losing a great comment and then just giving up!)

    Barbara, even your foodie dreams are a better cook than me and my real life. Love Summer with its fetes and cookouts and those long days that turn into lovely evenings among friends with all of the swells wearing their best casual beach/club accoutrements with wayfarer and aviator frames, and tan lovelies. Love freakin' fritters! Love lobster rolls and calamari and East Coast oysters with squeezed lemon and mignonette and horseradish. My best for a long (like indian summer long) memory filled summer, my friend! - Jg.

  10. Lobster and summer went hand in hand when we spent our summers in Maine as lobster was cheaper than ground beef. August was always the time you could buy fresh corn from the farms so your recipe sounds like a nice way to remember our good times at the lake.
