They are closer to spiders I think. Ghastly creatures!

A quick plunge of your chef's knife just behind the head immediately before
putting it in the pot will help.

The last time I cooked one (2 actually), I cut off it's head, cut the body
in half lengthwise and pulled off the pinchers and legs. I removed the few
inedible parts and discarded the head. The lobster parts I then braised in a
small amount of Italian dry white wine with some olive oil, green onion,
garlic, salt and, toward the end, parsley until the lobster turned color and
was cooked through. Served with some angel hair pasta and I had a dish that
was enjoyed by my guests. I had plain pasta.

Charlie, who doan eat no spiders.
