Why is my lobster tail shell soft?
Chef's answer
Soft shells mean, the lobster has recently shed their old cramped shell for a new one with growing room. This allows extra water in their shells while they cook which locals say seems to marinate them a bit, making them a little more tender. A sweeter but saltier taste due to the meat soaking in water inside the shell.
