How much meat will a 3 pound lobster yield?

A 3 pound lobster will yield approximately 1.5 pounds of meat.

This is a general estimate, as the meat yield can vary slightly depending on the lobster's individual size and the method of cooking.

Here's a breakdown of how the meat is distributed:

* Tail: The tail is the largest part of the lobster and contains the most meat.

* Claws: The claws are the second most meaty part.

* Knuckles: These are the smaller sections of the claws and contain less meat than the claws.

* Body: The body contains some meat, but it is significantly less than the tail and claws.

Keep in mind that this is just an estimate, and you might get more or less meat depending on the lobster you choose.
