Thought I'd try it. Recipes or instructions all over the tube, so not hard to learn.
Thought my procedure & results were successful, but... Not for me. Not a huge fan of lobster anyway , so maybe why this left me cold.
Water, sugar, lemon juice & left over pulp in the rind, salt , all brought to a boil & 1" or so cubes of Cod or Halibut(Cod Here) dropped into the boil. Don't bother the cubes as they might break up. When they are done they float to the top. Remove & plate. Pour melted butter over the chunks & sprinkle with Old Bay, Tony Chatchere's, whatever.
Extra salt helped, maybe fresh fish might have helped?

Only “poor mans lobster “ I’ve heard of is sturgeon, and like the aforementioned, it’s nothing like lobster either

In coastal New England poor man's lobster is lobster.

No shame in eating well prepared fish. Just do that, instead of trying to name it something it isn't.

Trust me, no fish is likely to get cooked that way again by me. Wife was baking filets with lemon & butter & I grabbed a piece to try the boiled thing I'd heard about. Yep, just boiled fish, so much better so many other ways.

Batter and deep fry instead.
The only proper way to fix fish.

I just brought a bunch of Halibut home from Alaska and someone told me to try it. I don't think I could bring myself to do it after having it deep fried. Even had some baked that was amazing.

Poor mans lobster is not bad.
You should use cheap fish however.
Otherwise...with the way good fish costs these days...you should just buy some lobster.
That cheap, poor quality torsk is the best for such a purpose.

I thought monkfish was poor man’s lobster.
Anyway, I much prefer blue crab meat and scallops to lobster. Good shrimp too, come to think of it.

In the Northeast Monk fish is known as poor man’s lobster. Halibut must be in season. Local grocery store has it on sale for $12.99 a pound which is much cheaper than it usually sells for.

Eel Pout (Burbot) is what is known as poor man's lobster here. Cut the backstraps out, cube and boil. Dip in melted butter.

Here in Utah, they use striper or wiper meat for this, boiled in 7-Up. I think it's a waste of perfectly good fish. (Utah is not known for its cuisine.)

Monk fish is what I know of as being poor man's lobster. Made it once broiled. Stank up the house like you wouldn't believe but it did taste good.
