Even local champion and Top Chef runner-up Gregory Gourdet makes an exception for this anything-but-local crustacean. Right now at Departure, he’s working lobster into PNW-meets-Asia specials like claw and tail meat gently poached in coconut milk and kaffir lime, served with sweet grilled corn, briny sea beans, bright watermelon and cilantro. Catch it while you can.
