Step-by-Step Guide to Making Lobster Sushi

1. Prepare the Sushi Rice

Sushi rice is the foundation of any great sushi roll. Here’s how to prepare it perfectly:

  1. Rinse the Rice: Wash the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for a fluffy texture.
  2. Cook the Rice: Combine the rinsed rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Season the Rice: In a small saucepan, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the cooled rice, ensuring even coating.

2. Prepare the Lobster Filling

  • Chop the cooked lobster meat into bite-sized pieces. For a creamy texture, mix it with mayonnaise.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice to the mixture.

3. Assemble the Sushi Rolls

  • Lay a sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat.
  • Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
  • Add a line of the lobster filling across the center of the rice. Place a slice of avocado on top.
  • Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, pressing gently to create a compact roll. Seal the edge with a dab of water.

4. Slice and Serve

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp towel between cuts for clean slices.
  • Plate the sushi and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.

Pro Tips for Perfect Lobster Sushi

  1. Choose the Right Lobster: Opt for high-quality lobster like Cold Water Lobster Tails or Warm Water Lobster Tails for the best flavor and texture.
  2. Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can make the rolls difficult to seal. Use just enough lobster and avocado to balance the flavors.
  3. Refrigerate Before Slicing: Chill the rolls for 10–15 minutes to firm them up, making slicing easier.
  4. Get Creative: Add cucumber, spicy mayo, or even a sprinkle of tobiko (fish roe) for extra flavor and visual appeal.
