I bought a steamed lobster and looking at it freaks me out. Its antennae makes me think of it as the ocean's roach.

Jus bought one today but I’m not eating the head 😂😂

I have trouble getting the cartilage out.

You can use a rolling pin to get the meat out of the legs. It's quick and better for your teeth. Also you missed a lot of meat in the body.

That lobster had some eggs too. Can’t believe you forgot about that, the cells, and the tamale as well.

U know there aint no one here who can afford to be buying lobster

Great video, I love lobster but haven't tried the full body until tomorrow 😃
the body is disgusting, but the meat delicious 😋

This video streams VERY poorly, even though I have a great connection and have checked back several times in the last few hours. Cant access more than the first minute. Thanks, YouTube.

What about the body, it's delicious.

The cute music doesn't cover up the horror
