Ever grill a lobster?

Living in Maine, I have seen lobster eaten anyway possible, including ice cream! Here's how we grill ours

With the lobster sitting where the tail curls towards the table, flatten it out and in one hand grasp the tail where it joins the body.

In the other hand, take the knife's point and aim for the place an inch or an inch and a half from between the eyes towards the tail. The blade of the knife should be facing away from your hand that is holding the tail.

Press the point of the knife into the head at that point until the point of the knife goes all the way through the lobster's head to the cutting board, then bring the blade down between the eyes to finish the cut of the head.
This kills the lobster as quickly and painlessly as possible

Turn the lobster the other way and cut the tail in the same fashion as killing the lobster.

Along the center of the lobster are three kinds of viscera, the dark green are the stomach and intestine that should be scraped out and discarded, and the yellow-green and coral are the liver, or tomalley, and the roe, which are both delicious and can be left in.

Remove the claws, and crack them with the back side (not the sharp side) of the knife. I prefer to do this inside a plastic bag to minimize the mess.


To grill the lobster
Place the claws still encased in the cracked shell on the hotter part of the grates.

Salt and pepper the inside open half of the lobster and grill it 2-3 minutes

turn over the body and the claws and grill for another 4 minutes.

If the flame flares up, move the lobster to a cooler part of the grill, or move it until the flame calms down.
