In Italy the best lobsters are caught along the coastal areas of the western Mediterranean, especially in Sardinia and Sicily. One of the most important lobster fishing centers is Alhero on the northwest coast of Sardinia, where lobsters are boiled and served with an uncooked sauce of finely sliced tomatoes and onions in an oil and lemon juice dressing.
This recipe comes from the area around Cagliari in the south of Sardinia and makes use of the typically Sardinian fragrances of thyme, marjoram, basil and parsley.
