Getting All The Meat Out Of A Giant Lobster!!! (How To DIY Adventure)

For too long I’ve seen people rip the tail off a lobster and throw the rest away. It’s wasteful and means their missing out on the best meat.

In this first ever installment of “How To DIY Adventure”. I’ll show you how to properly clean and harvest as much meat as possible from a this GIANT Spiny Rock Lobster. But what I show you here will also work on smaller “normal” lobsters as well. Enjoy!

FAQ
Q: Don’t small lobsters taste better?
A: Not really no. If you don’t know how to cook a big lobster it’s far easier to mess them up. Boiling the whole lobster this size will mean making the meat super tough. There are many ways that I’ll show in a future video of how to make these big boys delicious!

Q: Can you get ciguatera from lobster?
A: No. Only though older predatory reef fish.

Q: Those big ones are the “breeders”!
A: Hold your horses. Yes the larger ones can breed larger egg batches. But they also provide considerably more food than the smaller ones. Plus at this size and age they have already breed many more times. Getting their own genes out into the world through their offspring. It was take many more smaller lobsters who have not breed as much to equal this much food. There is nothing wrong with take these larger lobsters. And I find plenty of them in the remote places I sail to and dive.

Q: Do you eat everything you kill?
A: This is a very ignorant question I get from people who have not lived off the land or sea. But yes, it’s not hard to eat this much sea food. And it would be immoral to kill something and not get the most out of it. That’s why I made this video. With the hope to better educate people on getting the most out of their lobster. Not just taking the tail and throwing the rest away.
