Master the technique of extracting every bit of sweet meat from a whole cooked lobster, from the obvious tail and claws to hidden treasures in the body and legs. Use proper tools and learn the anatomy to avoid waste and bitter parts. Fresh lobster tastes completely different from frozen, making the effort worthwhile for the pure, briny sweetness.

People who tried this
“So when I got invited to this dinner, I had the option of ordering a full lobster that I will need to crack by myself. But at the time I had no idea how to eat lobster correctly and I didn't want to be embarrassed in front of a bunch of other bloggers. I passed and ordered steak and lobster tail (obviously already out of the shell). But I couldn't get over the idea of cracking up my own lobster. It looked like a lot of fun and such a nice skill to have, I was determined to learn how to eat lobster right.”
