Margaret Salt McLellan is Maine Lobster Chef of the Year!
Congratulations to Shucks' Corporate Chef and Sales Manager, Margaret Salt McLellan! Her Maine Lobster Purse with Pea Shoot Salad and Wild Maine Compliments was selected best of five finalists. All of the ingredients came from Maine, including the raw Shucks Maine Lobster meat which she butter poached before wrapping with goat cheese in tarragon accented crepes. Margaret's dish really showcased the unique qualities of Shucks product--the delicate texture and flavor of her butter poached lobster worked wonderfully with the light crepes. According to the panel of 4 judges, the dish was a clear winner on all criteria--taste, texture, flavor, and presentation.
As Maine Lobster Chef of the Year, Margaret's duties include several media appearances and various junkets to promote Maine Lobster and the wide variety of gourmet dishes that can be made with it. Of course we like to remind people that no matter what the celebration, the lobster will taste better (and be much easier for the chef to work with) if it's Shucks Maine Lobster.
Good Job Margaret!
