Default Re: splitting a lobster

[ QUOTE ]
So after I cut its head, I then cut the rest of the body while it's still on its stomach (i don't flip it over)?

I ask because I once bought a lobster and the split it for me, and what the guy did was take a live lobster, a huge knife, laid it on its back, and WHAM! one chop and it was in 2 pieces squirming away. Lobster halves were still moving when I got home half hour later.

the picture in your other post seems to describe my step 2. step 3 would involve the lobster still on its stomach, but with the tip of the knife pointing towards the head, not towards the tail.
