Having successfully cooked your lobsters, it’s now time to extract the meat – and this is where your lobster crackers come ...

First, I flip the lobster over, the way it is served as usual, sitting upright. Oh, a boiled lobster—not baked or broiled—ever. Eat the meat from the small fins the lobster uses to propel itself.

And don’t forget about bibs and lobster crackers. The crackers are a must to crack open the shell of the lobster. Get cooking. On your stove, bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a large stock pot.
