Had purchased two smaller ones and knew that wouldn’t work, so went back and added a larger third one.
I cleaned and removed the beaks, then poached/low simmer cooked for about an hour in some cognac, lemon, bay leaves, lemon peels, fresh oregano sprigs, peppercorns, soy sauce, salt and of course water. Cooked til tender when poked
Then I placed them in a tray until completely cooled and then coated them in some decent olive oil, chili flakes, smoked paprika, lemon juice, chopped fresh oregano and parsley, the oil from a jar of chili crisp, mushroom powder and salt and pepper. Then put them on a grill over some coals til they charred. Served up alongside some oven roasted potatoes and a Mediterranean style salad. Was so good.

Looks delicious!
Great job!
This looks amazing. I wish that I was you
I’d tear that up!!!
looks great!
don’t be afraid to manually tenderize it, either.
i do the same as you, but beat the hell out of it, then slice thin.
Getting the tenderness right is always a battle. How was that?
Where did you get that grill from?
Were they live? That’s pretty much the only seafood (besides shark/whale) that I can’t bring myself to try. They’re too damn smart.
Yum!!!
