In Spanish it's called "langosta", but in English sometimes it is lobster and some others it happens to be crayfish. Anyway, it's always a more than welcome treat.
Following the slogan of a bottle shop we often visit around Five Ways, we had our little "Summer of Riesling". This one was a recent discovery, which I don't see competing with Crawford River, but it still was an enjoyable wild fermented riesling to kick off the evening with some sort of "aperitif".
Instead of the usual and enchanting "salpicón" we went into a straight forward lobster dish.
Green asparagus with baked potatoes became the very simple formula to let the wonders of this cute lobster flow inside our mouths.
A stupendous Pedralonga Albariño, 2007 "Vendetta", was the perfect match for such an inspiring crustacea gathering.
Our meal was cooked and ready to go down our throats. It turned out to be a quite delicious meal, as well as an effortless digestive process; I guess that's the beauty of seafood most of the time.
I thought this could be a good time to have lychees, which proved to provide a sweet and fresh ending.
