Better Than Bouillon Premium Lobster Base, Made from Select Cooked Lobster & Spices, Makes 9.5 Quarts of Broth 38 Servings , 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)

Best broth there is.

This stuff is the best seafood type bouillon I have ever used . Great flavor and fairly reasonable price. Holds well in the fridge. I use it every time I make seafood gumbo. But I have used it in make seafood dishes like crawfish etouffee. Lots of uses.

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 gotta say, I REALLY love this stuff. A teaspoon of it in a cup, a little half and half, and hot water and you have a quick and tasty snack. Tomorrow, I’ll be making a pot of clam chowder with it. Be careful, it’s salty. A true teaspoon per 8 ounces. The only issue I have is with the packaging, and this seems to be a thing reported in other reviews. I ordered the 4 pack and one of the lids was not tightened from the factory. The paper seals were in place but the lid was loose enough that it leaked all over the other jars and had to be thrown out. Having to throw away 25% of the product really increases the price. But I like it enough to buy it again.

Product arrived wrapped in bubble wrap inside card board box in which it had leaked. Jar sealed but leaked while laying on its side. Product still good but could have been spoiled. Shipping may need some attention to prevent rolling in box. Thks!

The Best lobster bisque starts with Better Than Bouillon Base. It's our treat to ourselves, and makes up a better bisque than any restaurant's bisque. Leftover bisque goes on omelettes the next morning. Full of flavor and easy to use. We keep a jar for months in the fridge. Lasts a good long while and still full of flavor. We're from the Northeast and are very picky lobster eaters. The jars came promptly.

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. :-)

Better than Bouillion is a great was to add flavor to your cooking

Great taste. Great with shrimp.

I've been trying to get hold of this for ages. I found it in my local supermarket once- where I think it was stocked accidentally- and I used it for making various shrimp and seafood dishes, but I've not seen it there again. I've looked for it online, but it has always been prohibitively expensive, or the company won't ship to Canada or they charge exorbitant shipping fees. So I was delighted to find it on Amazon at a reasonable price- $41 for three at the time of ordering. This will last me a couple of years of making seafood soups and sauces. It's much less bother than using prawn shells and tastes better than using chicken bouillon- even in a dish like gumbo, which is what I mainly use it for.
