What Do You Dip Your Lobster In?

I was in NH today, and went out to have a lobster.
It tasted good, but it really was lacking taste without butter.
I know when I eat at home I can use the imitation no dairy butter, however when I am eating out this is not a usual option.
I wanted to know what you use to dip your lobster in other than butter and what I can do so the next time I have lobster at a restaraunt I don't go without something to dip it in while not getting a bad feeling inside.
I would think bringing my own butter is one thing however I'd rather not if possible or find another thing to do rather than have to explain it to the restaraunt, people, and just avoid the awardwardness.

I'd just take a dipping sauce with me. Earth Balance Buttery Spread is vegan and tastes just like butter. And don't feel awkward explaining anything to people at restaurants. Your health is more important than their opinion.

I must be a weirdo... I love the taste of lobster without anything to dip it in. If it's cooked properly, the flavor is delicate and sweet... mmMMmmmm.... hehe.
Anyway. I second the idea to take your own dipper, and hell with what anyone else thinks. Your health is more important than the opinion of a stranger. But if it's just not possible... hmm, maybe ask for lemon wedges and a glass of water, and try diluted lemon juice? I've never tried that, but I like lemon on just about any other seafood, so I don't see why it wouldn't work for lobster.

I spent my early years in Japan where they eat very little butter...crab and lobster are steamed and eaten "au natural". I don't eat it any other way.

I love lobster with butter of course.. but a great alternative is sprinkling the juice from a lemon slice on it. tastes great.

Have you tried olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice? I'm sure pretty much any restaurant would bring some out for you. It can be just as satisfying when you're craving that rich fatty element in your meal...and it's better for both the gut and the arteries!

I request no butter, but extra slices of lemon. I do the same with crab and shrimp.

When I make lobsters and crabs at home, I season the water with salt and different spices.

I am of the mind if your going to eat lobster, it probably won't hurt with a very little amount of butter. I doubt an oz of it once in a great while would be all that harmful to most people with IBS.
of course I am a chef, so I am also somewhat bias.:)
