Dinner
 

Cooked lobster for the first time last night. I was highly disturbed by the concept of throwing it in the pot alive. Only after I named it "Ann Coulter" was I able to do so :)

Yeah baby!

Did you release the waste fluid near the end of the tail?

Barf...really ?:surprise:

Yup. It was nasty...made me feel a little sick to my stomach...:|

nasty..

:lol:

Lobsters are a gateway drug.. the next thing you know you'll be dipping tangs head fist in boiling water :p

Yup, both lobster and crab carry waste fluid (equivalent of urine) in their body. Basically you take a stick (I use chopsticks) and poke a hole where their bum ought to be and drain the fluid.

Throw it in the pot and you're good to go.

You poke the hole with them alive?? I cooked Lobster once live. never poked it. We also never cooked it enough, so never ate it.

Yes.

Such are the requirements of the preparation of food, my friend!
