And you don't need to push the meat through the tail- hold it between your hands and squeeze- it'll crack the bottom and top and you can pull out the meat in one delicious piece. I've had people take lessons from me on how to take apart a lobster for eating. Follow those directions and you'll miss half the meat. There's meat in the legs, fins..
