The processing of Boston lobster consists of 5 steps: urination, removing the pincers, removing the gills, cleaning the head and cutting.
The first step is to urinate the Boston lobster, otherwise it will affect the overall meat quality of the lobster. After washing, hold the lobster from the back so that the lobster's belly is facing outward, being careful not to get stabbed by the lobster's feet. Hold the lobster with its belly facing outwards and use a chopstick to insert it through the shrimp's urinary opening close to the head. Take care to grip the lobster, quickly, and then remove the chopstick to remove any remaining urine from the large lobster. At this point the lobster will not move.
Then hold the end of the lobster shell and remove the pincers of the large lobster. Again turn over the cover of the lobster head and remove the gills of the large lobster, this part can not be eaten, and then it is to clean the stomach sac of the lobster head, and then remove the brain marrow. This step is already cleaned.
Finally, cut the Boston lobster into pieces or halves as needed, or you can keep the whole thing. There are many ways to prepare Boston lobster, such as steamed, cheesy, garlic, and so on.
