drawn butter
Lobster's liquid accompaniment
Drawn butter is butter that has been melted and often clarified by removing the milk solids, leaving pure butterfat.
In American usage, particularly in New England, it typically refers to plain melted butter served as a dipping sauce for seafood like lobster and crab.
British usage more often means clarified butter specifically.
The lobster came with a small pot of drawn butter on the side.
