What's the easiest way to get cooked lobster meat?

I have two fabulous methods. The first is to pick out a lobster at your supermarket, ask them to steam it for you, go collect your other groceries, collect your steamed lobster and then get someone else to take the meat out of the shell for you. Alternatively, some supermarkets (thank you Wegman's) carry shelled lobster, usually wherever they have the frozen seafood. My favorite brand is Cozy Harbor . It's pricy, but you're worth it!

What's the best way to get fresh bread crumbs?

Your handy dandy food processor! Tear a few slices of bread into quarters and pulse them in the food processor until they are the size you like. I always do this when a loaf of bread is getting a little stale, then I pop the crumbs in a freezer bag and freeze them for use at a later date!

Can this be made ahead?

Almost! You can prep it right up until you put the bread crumbs on top to bake it (otherwise the crumbs will get mushy). Bring it to room temperature before you bake it.

1/4 cup sherry

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375.
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan and add flour, whisking until smooth. Gradually whisk in the clam juice until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes or so.
Add sherry and cream and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add lobster just enough to warm it up. Taste sauce and add salt and pepper to taste. Using slotted spoon, transfer lobster to oven-proof casserole and spoon just enough sauce over to cover the lobster without making it too soupy.
Melt the remaining butter. Put bread crumbs, parsley and cheese in mixing bowl, pour melted butter over top and mix thoroughly. Spread crumbs over lobster.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until crumbs are golden. Serve immediately. Remember why you love lobster so dang much.
