A.All our lobsters are hard shelled lobsters for the most part due to the timing of the open fishing seasons in our region. Hard shelled lobsters travel better than soft shelled lobsters, and give you more meat for your money. We here at Bigfatlobster won't send you a soft shelled live lobster.
Q.What's the green stuff inside the thorax of a cooked lobster?
A.It's the lobster's liver or more accurately, its digestive system. A lot of people like to eat the "tomalley", but one should be aware that the
