POOR MAN'S MOCK LOBSTER
Try this recipe for chicken that is marinated and grilled, dipped in butter and tastes amazingly like lobster. My Dad actually got this recipe from a friend of his, and it's too wonderful to keep it a secret! Serve with clarified butter for dipping.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine everything but the bacon. Mix, using your hands, until well blended. In a roasting pan or iron skillet, shape the mixture into a lobster. With the ketchup, either rub a thin coating all over the lobster or make lines for visual appeal. Wrap the bacon slices across the tail or at joints, so everyone gets a little. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, covering the "claws" with foil after 40 minutes so that they don't dry out.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of fish. Firm-fleshed fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia work best for this recipe.
- Cook the fish properly. Overcooking will make the fish tough, so be careful not to cook it for too long.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes this dish, so don't skimp on the ingredients.
- Serve the mock lobster immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Mock lobster is a delicious and affordable alternative to traditional lobster. It's perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With a little creativity, you can easily create a mock lobster dish that your family and friends will love.
