Maine Beach Dinner...In A Box?  

Thursday, December 07, 2006

Yes, it's true! We found this Maine Shore Dinner kit at Costco for $53.99. It is a bit pricey, but you get 2 lobster tails, 12 mussels, 8 shrimp, 8 scallops and two pieces of corn! The kit is from the Hancock Gourmet Lobster Company.

We had the opportunity to have the Lobster Pot pies from the Lobster Company earlier this year. We received, as a gift, a gift certificate from Hancock and we ordered the pot pies. They were wonderful, came in their own ceramic ramikens and decorated with puff pastry lobsters on top.

When we saw that the Shore dinner was from the same company, we knew we couldn't go wrong! We cooked it on the grill. The directions called for 35-40 minutes. We pulled it off at 30 minutes and found the scallops still slightly opaque in the center, perfect! We think if you went the full 40 minutes, the scallops would be rubbery(just our opinion, of course)

What ever you do, DO NOT look at the nutritional label on the box. Trust us on this one.....Just remember, enjoy it now....Work it off the next day :)


We decided to pair the dinner with a Trader Joe's special. Napa River chardonnay is from the guy who brought you "2 buck chuck", but better! It's buttery, aged in oak and priced at $4.99. Call this one "5 buck Chuck ;)

With the butter, Old Bay and lemon in the dinner, this one was perfect!

Get it while it last, it was a limited production wine and when it's gone, it's gone.

We have a case, in storage!

By the way, pick up this one while it's still in stock! Costco is notorious for having items for a short time, then... poof...No more. Here's what the box looks like so you can pick it up too(in the frozen meat section):

    Seriously yummy! I'll have to check it out at Costco. Only thing is, we don't have a Trader Joes here. BUMMER!

    Strawboss,

    Unfortunately the Miranda is VERY hard to find. We've been all over the country and have only found it online at internationalcellar.com

    Here's the link to the Miranda:

    The online store is out of Florida.

    Good Luck!
