The taste tends to be the same regardless of size (although some people say that the meat in a smaller lobster tend to be a little sweeter). What is different is the texture of the meat - it tends to get a bit tougher as the lobster grows. This means that the tail meat starts becoming a bit chewy above about 3 or 4 pounds or so, although the meat in the claws of larger (5 pounds+ ) lobsters is tastier (and of course the meat inside the central body, and the eight little "feelers", of the lobster is easier to pick out of a larger lobster).

Typically the size of a lobster tail is not as important as the manner in which it is cooked for optimum tenderness. To that end, the most popular sized lobster tails come from the state of Maine and are typically 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds in size.
