Ways to Cook Lobster

Content: While lobsters aren't difficult to cook getting to the delicious meat inside their shells can be quite a challenge. Given the difficulty modern man can have cracking these shells, it's not hard to see why the colonists would have preferred sea creatures that were less of a battle to eat. Lobster Equivalents and Measures

Lobster must be cooked before it is eaten. The meat inside the tail and claws is the main draw for lobster aficionados, but if you are tenacious enough, each of the small legs and feelers also has tiny succulent morsels. Getting to the meat inside the smaller legs can be a difficult shell to crack, but it's defiantly worth the effort tastewise. The coral and tomalley are also tasty treats for the lucky diner with a whole lobster. The intestine, which runs down the back, and the sand sac in the head should be removed and discarded. The lobster shell makes a wonderful stock which can be used to flavor seafood soups, bisques, and stews.
