How to Remove the Grain Sack from a Lobster (3 Steps)
Preparing a lobster before cooking it can make the difference between dining on sweet meat and consuming unappetizing lobster juices and particles. The grain sac or stomach sac of a lobster is located in the head behind the eyes. This sac can contain bones, pieces of shells and digestive fluids. Remove the grain sac of lobsters so guests can concentrate on the succulent taste of the seafood instead of on parts of the crustacean to avoid while eating.
