Poor Mans Lobster

Try this poor mans lobster recipe the next time you want something that tastes like a million bucks but doesn't cost a million bucks!

This is so simple and you are not going to believe just how much it really does taste like lobster! Some folks use monkfish instead of cod but I like to use cod since it's much easier to find.
