thanks, or am i only dreaming that it could possibly be the weight of the meat!?! lol

also, if net wt!. would a 400g lobster have virtually ANY meat!? or would it all be shell & a major disappointment!?

please answer both Qs if you can! thanksWww@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:

I'm afraid it's wishful thinking to expect the 400g to be the weight of the meat!. The head is inedible and accounts for a large part of the weight, as do the shell and claws, the latter being edible!. The flavour may well be sublime but so far as value for money goes you'd be better buying from a local fishmonger!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
