Better Than Bouillon Base, Lobster, 8 Ounce

I’ve been using Better than Bouillon for years for Chicken and Beef stock base and it’s one of the best. Since Lobster is not available in store local to my area bought this mostly for my Cajun Crawfish and Shrimp étouffée - game changer! Just added a new level of body, depth and flavor vs other similar stock options. Highly recommend all their bases!!

I bought this for the first time and just received it. It arrived in perfect condition. I love having different bouillon and flavorings. I love seafood also and it's really hard to find any seafood type bouillon. I tasted it and really enjoyed the flavor. Definitely a lot of lobster flavor. If I had one complaint it would be the salt content. It's a little much but not overbearing. I really anticipate coming up with some good dishes using this excellent bouillon.

Excellent! Great taste and flavor, which adds to all seafood dishes.

I prepared a Marichan block of ramen, tossed the chicken flavored seasoning packet to the side and scooped up a half teaspoon full of this stuff and added it to the water. I covered the bowl and let it go it's seasoned ramen thing. The flavor was good. It DEFINITELY had that lobster flavor and there was a hint of fishy. I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be but, at the same time, I was far from disappointed. I feel that it would be unfair for me to base my entire review on one bowl of ramen and I do have some ideas for other things to try it with. But, for now, I'd give it, strictly as a ramen flavor, 4/5. I'll come back and review again once I've tried other ideas that the internet suggests.

Better Than Bouillon Premium Lobster Base when I cook noodles. First I boil it a minute away from al dente. Save one cup of the water. DO NOT RINSE THE NOODLES. Pour the water out, add the cup of water, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of the base and 3 to 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir and serve.

Added great flavor to mixed shell fish dish. I would recommend this because it’s easy to use & adds richness to a sauce.

great flavor and price

I cannot taste lobster in this product or in the broth of the bisque I made with this product. I made a lobster bisque last night. There is a photo of the jar in this listing which shows a recipe for the bisque, but my jar didn't have the recipe on it. However, the ingredients list does show that "cooked lobster" is the first ingredient, and salt is the second ingredient, so I would expect there to be a strong taste of lobster, or at worst, a weak taste of lobster. But I cannot smell or taste any lobster and neither can my wife. The contents of the jar smells more like a soy sauce. Nonetheless I made the bisque and I even added a half cup of cooked lobster tail. I could not taste any lobster in the broth at all and neither could my wife. The broth was not unpleasant to eat - it just didn't taste like lobster - not even a hint of it. Interestingly, I noticed that the website on the jar in the photo of this listing which is superiortouch.com does not come up. On my jar, the website is listed as betterthanbouillon.com so I went there and found the lobster bisque recipe. However, the recipe is a little different - the one shown in the photo on this listing shows that 1 cup of white wine is needed with 1 TBS of the lobster base. But the recipe on the betterthanbouillon site says I should use only 2 TBS of white wine and then 1.5 TBS of the lobster base, which is 50% more than the early recipe. But if that's true, then why do both jars indicate 38 servings are in the jar??? Doesn't make sense. Since it's an 8 oz jar, there should be 16 TBS of lobster base. Anyway, I used the website version recipe which calls for 1.5 TBS of the lobster base, and when all was said and done, we couldn't taste any lobster in the broth at all, even though I added my own fresh cooked lobster tail meat to the bisque. Very odd, especially since adding lobster meat is optional. It's as if they forgot to add the lobster meat to the product. I will try this bisque recipe one more time and edit the review if needed, but I'm not optimistic. If it fails again, I'm not going to throw it out - I'll use it mixed with a BBQ sauce for chicken or something... and cook some thighs on the Weber. :-)

I was the star of a dinner party because of this stuff it’s beautiful.

This product is fantastic. I’ve used it seafood chowder and pasta dishes. The flavour profile is superb. A little goes a long way.

How much!!😯 Such a shame about the price.. nothing else compares sadly

Great taste. Great with shrimp.
