Other people who are not from Maine, perhaps. The tomalley is quite flavorful, and I like to save it out and mix it with mayonnaise and lobster meat when making lobster rolls. You should avoid eating it if the area has recently been hit with Red Tide though, because toxins can accumulate in the "green stuff" which acts as both the liver and pancreas of the lobster. I once attended a lobster-bake put on by a vendor who did business with my company, and for some reason, a woman co-worker and her husband wanted the claws and would trade the bodies and tails for them. My wife and I were very happy to comply.Moonbear said:
