What is a "lobster pick"?
A lobster pick is a specialized utensil designed for extracting meat from lobster and other shellfish. It typically features a long, slender handle with a pointed end. The pointed tip of the lobster pick is used to pierce and loosen the meat from the shell crevices and compartments of lobster tails, claws, and legs. Lobster picks are commonly made from stainless steel or another durable material, ensuring they can withstand the tough shells of shellfish without bending or breaking. Some lobster picks may also have a curved or angled tip for easier access to hard-to-reach areas.
