The part you must watch out for is a small sac behind the eyes of the lobster, it will make you sick!

Where do you find tamale in a lobster?

The tamale is found in the main body of the lobster. If you split the lobster in half, you will see a green substance, this is the tamale. If what you see is red, that is the egg sac. You can eat both the tamale and the egg sac, however, I recently saw a warning about eating the tamale. It is basically a filter (similar to a liver in the body), for the lobster, and apparently the warning is that it can be contaminated, however the meat is not affected by this what-so-ever.

Tomalley is the liver and pancreas of the lobster. It looks like a green paste inside the abdominal cavity of a cooked lobster. It is considered a delicacy and many people consider it the best part of a lobster. It can be eaten scooped from the cooked lobster or can be used to flavor sauces. Note: this is often misspelled "tamale" as in the Mexican dish, since this is how tomalley is pronounced. Or it is also sometimes spelled "tomale". " There may be a black substance also in the lobster's abdominal cavity. The black substance in a cooked lobster is called the coral and is found only in the female lobster because it is the eggs (or roe) of the lobster. Those who like tomalley are usually big fans of also eating the coral. You may also see an orange or red stripe running down the middle of the back of the tail. This is the digestive tract. It is the color of what the lobster has eaten and it will be larger or smaller depending on when the lobster last ate. Before eating the tail, peel off the digestive tract. It will not be harmful to eat after the lobster is cooked, but may be gritty and not very tasty.
