Lobster Croquettes

Pounding the lobster meat breaks down muscle fibers and releases natural proteins that act as a binder when combined with breadcrumbs, creating a cohesive mixture that holds together during cooking. The coral (roe) contains fat and proteins that enrich the mixture and help emulsify the ingredients. Breadcrumbs absorb excess moisture from the seafood, preventing soggy croquettes while creating structure that crisps beautifully when fried.
