Lobster Stuffed Potato

I got this recipe from a chef who taught a gourmet cooking class many years ago. The recipe is from the award winning restaurant "Windows on The Water" which is in Kennebunkport, Maine, not far from President Bush's family compound. I'm sure you could substitute the lobster meat with imitation crab or lobster. Lobster meat is very expensive; around $23.00 per pound.
