Cool the lobster and broth by putting it together with ice into a new pot, take out all meat from the lobster, which should now be firm and white.

Pour the water over and add salt. Bring to boil and let simmer for 30 minutes, strain, add the cream and add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cut the lobster meat into large pieces leaving the meat from the claws intact. Mix all meat except the claws with mayo, sour cream, dill, chives, red onion and the zest from lemon. Stir carefully and add bleak roe.
6. Finely chop the red chili, cube the avocado and add olive oil, lime, salt and pepper to taste.
