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.
