This is a winner, but i added scallops, crab, and shrimp in addition to the lobster. I did as the recipe called, but i do believe more Pernod should be in it. I put 1-1/2 tbl but it did not bring out the anise flavor of the fennel as much as i thought it would. The large casserole fed 4 of us with less than 1/3 "planned" over. Another hit, it is on the "You can make this again list from Mother."

This recipe is a great platform - I can see lots of variations working. I've been looking for a way to use some crawfish meat I've got, made the recipe with that as the only modification. It was great. I'm sure crab or shrimp would be great too. Will be making again this summer when I've got a few pots of crawfish.

Delicious! I made it just as written. I agree that maybe the pearl onions could be reduced and the amount of lobster bumped up. And it would be a bit healthier with only a top crust. That crust may be the best part of the recipe! I'm a pretty decent cook but I CAN'T make pie crust to save my life. This worked like a dream. It was very easy to roll out and work with, beautifully flexible, and fantastically flaky. No question that this recipe is loaded with fat, but a small serving goes a long way and it's worth the occasional splurge.

This recipe is fantastic. I have made several time in the ramekins and they turn out beautiful. I have tried it only once in a large dish and was a just a little drier. I think the larger amount of dough might have absorbed the moisture a bit more than ramekins. One more thing...when I use ramekins I only put dough on top and not bottom. This is a special occasion dish. Love it!!!!

"How bad is that?" Um, yeah, this one is bad. I couldn't taste the lobster. No need to put lobster in a POT PIE, what was I thinking?! Waste of money and effort if you ask me.

Just made this today for Christmas dinner.....amazing. Made it almost exactly as recipe calls for but made individual pies in ramikens. Turned out excellent. I used 3 live Maine lobsters at about 1 and 1/4 pound each and felt that it was plenty of meat. I did omit pearl onions per others' suggestion but otherwise was the same. Time consuming but easy and totally worth it.

Amazing!! Very rich and decedent. Easy to make. This is also great with scallops and makes a very nice up-scale chicken pot pie.

Love Love Love it! I egg washed 3X times to get that really golden crust. It came out perfect and was just outstanding! Big hit!

I thought that this was delicious and very easy to prepare. The only thing that I would do the next time is reduce the amount of pearl onions and add something else that would be to your individual liking. I also used more lobster meat that was called for in the recipe just because they were so cheap at the time. It's a winner!

Perfectly lovely comfort food for an intimate dinner! Even though I don't care for fennel, I made the recipe exactly as written by Ina and we loved it. It always confuses me when people write on these comment threads saying how great a recipe is, but they have changed it up so as to be unrecognizable. May I say, that when you do this . . . You are not reviewing the recipe!
