"This recipe is one I had many times at The Hilltop Steakhouse, in Saugus, Mass, known far and wide for its great food and dining experience. They closed in 2013. This recipe is sacred to me now, and I thought I would share it here! If you want a fabulous lobster dish, try this. You won't be disappointed! You can also substitute any seafood or haddock or swordfish for the lobster with great results! PLEASE NOTE: Serving Size and Cooking Time is only a guess, as it depends how big your appetites are, and I can't remember the exact cooking time for the stuff cooked on the stove during preparation time."
