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!

With crab I usually shuck them(take their shell off and guts out) then steam them. Wonder what the difference in taste is?

With crabs or lobsters, you should try stir frying it Chinese style, with ginger, garlic, green onions, and some sweet chili sauce (or hot if you prefer).

Stir fry these ingredients first, then scramble in an egg & then add the lobster &/or crab. Try it sometime. It'll blow your socks off.

Now that's what I'm talkin about.
