This Is How I Do It - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Here's how I seal my lobster

I typically do this on the tail gate of my truck or I'll get out some saw horses and law down a piece of plywood

1. Lay an old shirt or towel down to catch the lobster gooooo

2. I got a hold of one of these bread trays, I will lay the lobster on it once they're cut and let the goooooo

drip out

3. I cut the bottom membrane of the lobster from one side to the other, its not necessary but it makes it a bit easier when you twist the tail off the carapace.

4. Once the lobster has been de-tailed I will break off one of the antenna and cut-off about 2/3 of the antenna(discard flexible portion). Next, I will insert the antenna in the anus, shove it in as far as possible

and turn in 1-2 times

5. As you start to pull the antenna out you will be pulling out the intestine, once its completely out you can discard this.

6. I will take some paper towels and fold side over side twice. Once the towel has been folded over I will place the towel over the bottom portion of the tail and cover the spines/thorns/pointy things that hurt when they stick you.....yes, I'm speaking from experience

6-A. If the tail is wider than the tail do not fold the towel over twice. After folding it over once take approximately 1/3 of each side of the towel and fold it over.

7. Place tail inside the vacuum bag

8. Place bag inside your Vacmaster VP112

9. Seal bag

Do you eat the paper towel afterwards?

Can you include a photo of you pressing the "ON" button.

How do you place them in the freezer? North-south or east-west?

Can the lobster be next to the chicken or should I place a barrier in between?

All those questions AND MORE were released in the un-edited version that was sent to "special-west-coast-members."

Pushing the "ON" button is a lot harder than you think...

Excellent pictorial on bug cleaning. Smart to cut underside 1st as this is where the nerve ("spinal") cord is and usually paralyzes the flapping tail. That gel-like goo stains so don't do it on patio/driveway without plastic sheet underneath. Be sure to wait until you get home to de-tail as it is illegal to clean it elsewhere. Thanks for sharing!
