Recipes with rabbit and lobster

We have no browsable recipe that lists both rabbit and lobster.

Can you swap one for the other?

Only partly. Most of lobster's flavor molecules (46 of 61) are also found in rabbit, but rabbit has 151 that lobster lacks. Lobster gives you part of rabbit's character without most of its tartness. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
