Why is my lobster meat green when I cut it open to bake stuff it?

Question

It almost looked like a green dye was inside the lobster. The other lobster I cut open was white..... I just don't want to get sick.

Answer 1

What is the green stuff you find in the cooked lobsters?

This is the tomalley or tamali, which functions like the liver, pancreas and intestines in the lobster. Many find it delicious to eat. Recently there have been concerns about finding dioxin in tomalley. The Maine Lobster Promotion Council offers this advice to consumers and concerned citizens: “(According to the Advanced Seafood Handbook,) ‘there are no known safety considerations when it comes to eating lobster meat. However, consumers are advised not to eat the tomalley, the light green substance found in the lobster's carapace. This is the liver and pancreas, which are thought to accumulate contaminants from the environment.’ Much like the liver of other animals, the lobster's tomalley is the natural filter for contaminants, like dioxins, from entering the system. Finding the dioxins in the lobster tomalley is regrettable, and certainly a sign of the times in which we live. However, it is also a reassuring indication of the lobster's natural defense system at work, keeping the lobster meat wholesome, nutritious and delicious.”

Answer 5

If this is not in the claws or tail, don't eat it. Actually I don't think I'd eat green meat at all. Call the place where you bought it. They will tell you what's up.

Answer 6

There is an organ that if you cut it, a green substance will come out. The best way to tell if a food is bad is your nose, if it smells bad, usually it is.
