preparation
1. Kill the lobster painlessly. Lay the lobster belly-side down on a board and cut it lengthwise in half.
2. Remove the stomach sac, a slightly clear pouch that will now be cut in half, from the head section of each half.
3. Remove the intestinal vein from the tail section.
4. Put the lobster halves onto a baking pan or the rack of the broiler pan. Brush the meat with melted butter and season with a little salt and pepper. Broil, about 6 inches (15 cm) from the heat, for 8 to 10 minutes until cooked through.
5. Just before the lobster is ready, bring the fish stock, fish sauce, and lemon juice to a boil in a small pan and boil for 1 minute. Whisk in the butter, a piece at a time, to build up an emulsified sauce. Stir in the chopped herbs and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
6. Lift the lobster halves onto four warmed plates and spoon the sauce over them.
