Martino, et. al 1465 Italy (lastly translated into English in 1598) has at
least one lobster like recipe. 
On my phone or I would look it up for you.

------------------------------
Martino mentions 'Lione de mare', 'Laguste' and 'gambari' (alt. gamari) (the
latter of which is explicitly described as having claws). Parzen's
translation has 'spiny lobster', 'lobster' and 'crayfish' for these
respectively. Boiled in vinegar and water or roasted in the coals.

There's also 'crayfish' mentioned as a freshwater fish in the Menagier de
Paris. These are also used in his 'tuile de char' recipe.
