Hi, seafood enthusiasts! Quick question: Do you clean your lobster tails before cooking, or is that not necessary? I'm about to prep some for dinner and want to make sure I'm doing it right. Any cleaning tips or steps you swear by? Thanks for helping a lobster newbie out!

Oh, lobster tails! You bet I clean 'em before cooking! It's all about getting rid of any grit or residue that might be lingering. Just give 'em a good rinse under cold water and maybe a gentle scrub with a brush if needed. Some folks even butterfly them for easier cooking, but hey, it's all about personal preference! Clean tails = happy cooking!

Hey there! Personally, I usually give my lobster tails a quick rinse under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Some folks also like to use kitchen shears to cut open the top shell and remove the vein-like digestive tract. It's not always necessary, but it can make for a cleaner presentation. Just depends on your preference and how you like to cook 'em! Enjoy your lobster dinner!
