So, how do the people in the north cook their seafood? boil them? Cook them in sauce? Do you grill them?

When I do fish, it is either deep fried with batter, broiled, or poached in a sauce. Lobsters we just boil.

We live in the Midwest, Mom, originally from Chicago. The Midwest is cold in winter so people usually eat meats like beef, pork and chicken with gravy and potatoes or noodles (stews or pot roast). Chicken is fixed all different ways, roasted, stewed, fried, chicken & rice, chicken & dumplings. Since we're not close to any oceans, fish is not high on the list, more so for special occasions. Fried shrimp or catfish is on restaurant menus.

Smoked salmon is cold smoke. Hot smoked fish means to serve it hot. WE can have hot smoke meat and fish in Oz

Lobsters and mussels get boiled. Clams get boiled or baked. Oysters are often fried. All these things can be grilled, too, and sometimes are.

Sounds to me that you love lobster more than prawns. It is because of the taste and texture. In Oz, prawns taste better than lobster but lobster has a firmer texture than prawns. Is it the same in US?

The most mama does with fish is rub salmon with a little basil and garlic and salt and sauté it. Or bake it in the oven. Sometimes she makes tuna salad or tuna croquettes, but I don't think that's what you're talking about. MOL.
She has of Italian heritage, so she likes making Italian food. Daddy is Slovak Slovenian and that area heritage. So she cooks that type of food as well.
I think here in northeastern Ohio, Cleveland-style food would be kobasi or bratwurst with pierogies.

We eat lots of prawns or shrimp too, but they're not caught locally, unlike the other shellfish. They're trucked up from the south. Our ocean temperatures here are too cold for them.
BTW, mostly we call prawns "shrimp," though sometimes people do use "prawns" when they're talking about bigger ones.
I don't think our lobster here is the same species as yours. Ours only lives in cold water. In fact, nowadays more of our lobster comes from Maine than is caught locally. That's because Maine is further north than we are and as our local coastal waters have gradually become a bit warmer, the lobsters have retreated northward.
