Chef Funti’s Guest-Worthy Recipe: Mac N’ Cheese Lobster Pancake from Lamia’s Fish Market

Why?

“When I was developing my brunch menu for Lamia’s Fish Market, I wanted to include foods that I absolutely loved and would add to the overall experience people have when dining here. Our Mac & Cheese Lobster Pancake is a fun twist on a breakfast staple that adds a surprising seafood element — seeing an entire lobster claw in one piece is quite impressive. It’s unique, absolutely delicious, and easy enough for our guests to recreate at home if they wish!”
