Doing this will also help keep you honest in following health and other rules and regulations, too. Not following them can lead to a business being shut down, and that\u2019s the last thing you want for your restaurant. So keep your seafood edible by learning from Parts Town about how to clean lobster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Clean Lobster\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you just throw that fresh lobster in the pot to boil, let\u2019s take a second to go over how to get it cleaned up. Now we have to determine something before we begin cleaning, is the lobster alive? You\u2019re going to want to add a step for safety if the lobster is live while you\u2019re cleaning it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to band the lobster\u2019s claws before you get started. This will ensure you don\u2019t get pinched while cleaning a live lobster. You can also put it in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/freezer-parts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">freezer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for 20 minutes to slow down movement once you\u2019re ready to clean and cook. The following steps will help you clean the overall lobster exoskeleton.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that your safety measures have been taken, these are the steps to clean a lobster before cooking:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Inspect for roe &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the lobster is a female and you got it fresh, there\u2019s a possibility it could be carrying roe eggs on it. Inspect for that and scrape them off. You can either save them if you serve roe or dispose of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Run under water &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go ahead and\u00a0 run cold water from the sink on the lobster to wash away any large debris first.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Scrub the lobster &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/scrubbers-sponges\/parts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">scrub brush<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to clean the lobster of any other finer debris while still holding it under the running water. After this, your lobster should be clean and ready for cooking.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note: <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t scrub too hard or you can break off parts of your lobster on accident.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Clean Lobster Before Cooking<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning a lobster doesn\u2019t just mean rinsing it off, though. Before cooking things like lobster tails, if you aren\u2019t planning to boil them, require some rinsing under that exoskeleton.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Clean Lobster Tails Before Cooking<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cut off fins &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a pair of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.partstown.com\/kitchen-shears\/parts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kitchen scissors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to cut off the fins from the end and sides of the lobster tail.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cut down the center of the tail &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the kitchen scissors to cut down the exoskeleton\u2019s center from the top or bottom of the lobster tail.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rinse again &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put the tails into a pot with running water to give them one final rinse.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Drain the tails &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After rinsing, you need to set the tails on a paper towel to drain for 10 minutes or more if needed.
