There is no meat in the head of lobster, and all the internal organs of lobster exist in the head, including shrimp stomach, shrimp liver, shrimp gall, shrimp heart and so on. In addition, the lobster head is also the place where toxic substances such as heavy metals gather the most, so under normal circumstances, lobster heads are not eaten.

Lobster head is dirty. If you want to eat lobster heads, it is recommended to wash them thoroughly before eating. First, you need to clean up the internal organs inside the shrimp head. You can use scissors to cut off the shrimp shell along the V line in the middle of the shrimp head, and then clean up the internal organs of the shrimp shell. Finally, put the cleaned lobster in clean water and soak it twice to remove the odor and dirt on the lobster, and be careful not to get rid of the shrimp yellow.

Lobster purchase skills

1, look at the shape

The fresh lobster looks complete, especially the head and tail of the shrimp, which looks bent to a certain extent, while the shrimp's body is relatively straight. If the lobster is not fresh, its head and tail can be easily separated. As long as we gently touch it with our hands, its head can't keep its original bending degree and looks particularly weak.

2. Look at this color

The fresher the lobster is, the brighter its shell looks, and its color is bluish white, which is the original color of lobster. If the lobster is not fresh, then its shell looks dull and the color is dark red or grayish purple, so the lobster is the least fresh.
