It may be tedious but the result can almost be equivalent to a large claw. Have another beer and go at it!

Sadly his disability pension that we live on does not allow luxuries like that anymore. My husband and I used to love to eat lobster.

This is exactly the method we used to unshell our lobster. I thought construction gave me calluses, but cleaning lobster was bad too. Often, we also used an oyster (or scallop) shucker to get the meat out of the knuckles (my favorite part - so underrated). Using a knife to half or quarter the lobster is fine too, but there is something fun and satisfying about cracking it apart yourself.

I usually just get the legs. I like the tomalley (liver) too, but I have heard that it's not always that clean, and can contain concentrated ride tide and other toxic things. @Gotta eat the body: Give us some tips!
