delicacy in many cuisines.
Can Cooking Change the Color?
Cooking has little effect on the tomalley’s green color. While its texture may become slightly firmer, it generally remains green after steaming, boiling, grilling, or baking.
If you notice slight color differences, they’re usually caused by the lobster’s natural diet rather than the cooking method.
How Can You Tell If It’s Spoiled?
Fresh tomalley should have a smooth, creamy consistency and a clean marine aroma.
Discard the lobster if you notice:
A sour or rotten smell
Slimy or unusually watery texture
