I thought I was having chicken for supper tonight. The chicken turned into a pre-cooked lobster. But what do you do with a cold pre-cooked lobster? 

I wasn’t feeling the whole dipping it into garlic butter. I had the thought to try a lobster cake. 

I was a little intimidated. Okay, maybe more like very intimidated since it’s lobster, like a divine blessing from the sea and I didn’t want to screw it up.

At first, I thought I would wing it. Then I decided lobster is too precious to do that so I’ll just use my trusted Google and do a search. 

I came upon this site, a tourism site for PEI. I modified the recipe immediately. 

Bread crumbs will become coconut flour. I chose not to use mayo since I felt there would be too much liquid. 

I changed the quantities of mustard and parsley.  It turned out AMAZING!
