hi ant,
theres a ton of ways to cook lobsters but its trying to find the best one for you,
for a salad take 2 uncooked tails and place one up, one down. (place one tai pointing away from you and the other towards you) with the hard rounded shell on the outside tie them up and place in boiling water well salted for 10 mins (i find a small stock for the water helps, just celery onion lemon and fennel bulb) now when its cooked coll it as fast as possible in cold water (better running).
For a dressing finely grate 1/2 a zest of lemon pick a pinch of fresh thyme and sea salt flakes and fresh ground black pepper and finally use the end of a teaspoon to get a touch of nutmeg, mix with 5 dessert spoons of olive oil (just a normal virgin olive oil as extra virgin will be bitter for this).
remove the shell from the tail without cutting the flesh inside,(to do this cut down either side of the hard shell, now cut the flesh into 4-5mm rings and marinade in the dressing,
for salad leaves i would go for sorel, ruby chard, baby spinach, rocket and mizono, use the same dressing to coat the salad as well as the lobster.
