I am in the office - would much rather be on the beach! :D<BR/><BR/>coco - I hadn't realised you could steam them, I've usually seen the plunging in boiling water way... Thanks for the vinegar tip!<BR/><BR/>peter - thanks - hope it helped!<BR/><BR/>heather - eek!!

It sounds terrible, and I had to run out of my kitchen and plug my ears. But I really think it makes them taste so much better than boiling. :\Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630354073303047529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625629625322663203.post-90244734272412138562008-06-19T03:17:00.000+01:002008-06-19T03:17:00.000+01:00Yay Kittie...as if a "kittie" would have a problem...Yay Kittie...as if a "kittie" would have a problem with fish! lol<BR/><BR/>Pan-fried nicely, dear lass.<BR/><BR/>Msg me...I need your expertise, sil vous plait.Peter Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01907758539058786065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625629625322663203.post-12208439675346836952008-06-19T02:59:00.000+01:002008-06-19T02:59:00.000+01:00With the lobster and crab just keep it simply stea...With the lobster and crab just keep it simply steamed for the first time.
