Leg
Lobster legs hold thin strands of sweet meat—more work than tail, worth it for bisques and mixed salads. On large lobsters the legs contribute noticeable yield. Steam with the whole animal; suck or roll a pin over the shells to extract meat. Use in stock if picking is not worthwhile on small animals.
