Crusher Claw

Lobster crusher claw is the larger pincer—thick shell, generous meat, and the dramatic half of a claw pair on a platter. Meat is dense and sweet when just cooked. Crack tableside or in the kitchen for neat presentation. Warm only until heated through; residual heat finishes the centre.
