Oh my goodness! We are so sorry to hear that has happened to you. We have been cooking with frozen and fresh lobsters and that has never happened. And, of course, we will go in and edit to mention about wearing gloves for safety. Thank you so much! We so appreciate you leaving a comment and sharing your story. Have a wonderful and healthy holiday! 🙂

However, I will tell you something you need to add to the cleaning of the lobster tails. You must wear gloves when cleaning lobster. The shells of crustaceans have bacteria on them. I got a small cut on my thumb. I couldn’t even see the broken skin, it was so minute. However it started throbbing a few days later. I developed a serious infection and had to be on antibiotics for weeks, the first dose wasn’t strong enough. I was in agony (there are nerves in fingers). I literally nearly lost my thumb ( I did lose my nail). It was a horrific experience, easily preventable by wearing gloves. I’ve been cooking seafood for decades and nothing like this ever happened before, but the doctor told me it happens all the time. So be warned, you never know when a bit of bacteria can enter a miniscule cut. Otherwise, I loved the recipe.

Hello Kathleen, we have a recipe on how to boil and steam fresh lobsters, and here is the link: https://2sistersrecipes.com/lobster-cobb-salad/
And, you can use the same method for tails. Hope this helps!

Hi Deb! Thank you for asking. And yes, the cleaning process is the same. If you are planning to grill them on the BBQ, then yes, you can clean and prepare them in the morning. If you are planning to make lobster sauce? You can make it an hour or two before serving, leaving the lobster tails sauce covered on the stovetop. Then boil your pasta and follow the directions in our recipe card. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend! 🙂

Wondering if same cleaning process is the same with fresh lobster? Also can you make this morning of a dinner party?

That’s great Linda! So glad to hear! Just a reminder, it’s best to have a good quality pair of kitchen scissors to snip and cut the tails. Good Luck!… and Have a Merry Christmas! ENJOY!!:)
