    so reproductive organs, eyes, butthole, intestines and contents, everything?

    All that would normally be considered 'offal' doesn't render a weird taste?  
    What is the texture like?

    There are places around here that have them, but this seems like it would be better to try somewhere other than 1500 miles from the ocean?
    That's what everything means, they're cleaned.  Try it, but agreed either close to the water, especially the Chesapeake Bay, or in a fine restaurant.  They're delicious.

    Haven't got to cook in over 2 months due to work. 

    You are woking too hard - you forgot you cooked brisket recently? =)

    Standing by for the finale.  

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    Status- Standing by.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Man I worked for once ran trucks every week hauling "Chesapeake Bay soft shell crabs" from Georgia when the peelers were in season here. It's hard work watching for the crabs to molt and then putting in the cooler instantly to keep the shells from hardening. The season is short so the people working the crab shed can sleep afterward.
    Spaightlabs,
    I think they back them before cooking since the dead man fingers (lungs) are too tough to chew. How much lobster do you not eat?
