Take care when cracking the lobster, the shell can be sharp.
The lobster will naturally contain moisture and the carapace will naturally contain light green tomalley. It may also contain roe.
How to crack your lobster
Step 1 - Firmly hold the claws and twist off.
Step 2 - Remove the tail by arching the body of the lobster until it cracks and pulls apart.
Step 3 - To remove the tail meat, break off the tail flippers and use a fork to get to the tail meat inside the shell.
Step 4 - Pull apart the main shell and discard the dark stomach sac.
Step 5 - To remove the juicy meat cut the remaining body in half.
Step 6 - Break the claws with a nut cracker to remove the meat and use a skewer to remove the leg meat.
