🤣One of the most awkward shelling's of a lobster I've seen.
Good video but….1) Knuckle meat is the best. 2) You forgot the meat in the body of the lobster. It takes some effort to pick it out, but it's delicious and it's a waste not to extract it.
Should remove the bands from claws before cooking. If not, can taste the rubber sometimes
Rolling pin tip is genius.
看起來好好吃喔呵呵呵
Now I’m hungry for tamales
This was terrific! Real ready to try! Many thanks for kind of video 👍
Good stuff, very helpful
Awesome you guys are the best
I thought I was going to watching how to fry a whole lobster but this was good too. I'm glad they used every piece.
Love your videos!!
Video so looking amazing good preparation
Lobsters will show this in their classrooms after they conquer the humans.
Hello 👋🏽
can you eat the meat in the body, the main body of lobster.
No tips on getting the meat from the knuckles? Knuckle meat is the yummiest part of the lobster, but it's a pain to get out.
Yeah…because I can afford fecking lobster with gas prices at six bucks a gallon! Try getting a clue, ATK!! Why not tell your viewers how to stretch their food budgets and cook interesting meals on a shoestring instead of tone deaf videos on how to break down a lobster with record inflation and an economic depression!
🦞😋🦞👍🏾👌🏾
When I waited tables in a seafood house, those four knuckles behind the claw were my Scooby Snack! Customers rarely cracked into them. And, yes, wait staff sometimes eat what you don't! 😂
Hi 👋 from Johannesburg South Africa 👍
Yum thank you I have avoided ordering whole lobster because I didn’t want waist what I didn’t know how to remove.
Shame they changed the title, I was really looking forward to learning how to "bread" down a lobster. Lol
Man these people are experts.
Come on guys. Give them a bread. Mistakes happen!
“How to BREAK down lobster” not bread
"Bread Down" is click-bait.
Lobster is ridiculously expensive right now, and I live in Maine.
*break
Typo in the title
i didnt ANY bread! learned nothing 😑
This is great for those of us who needed gluten free lobster meat
I don't know why but this reminds me of the ol" Steve Martin joke: "How to become a millionaire: First…get a million dollars!" The whole video, all I could think was how the hell could I afford the gas to drive to go…look at lobsters…
Please fix the spelling error 😭😭😭😭
Disclaimer: No bread was harmed in the making of this video.
"Bread" Down a Lobster?? Are the ATK interns uploading YouTube content?
So nice way to break down a lobster but I still want to know how to bread it down. Does it take panko or itialian? Do we dip with corn starch or not? The public wants to know.
Where is the sound?
Make a lobster roll with the bread
To me this video is only half done. There is a good amount of meat in the body that is not shown here. When we get lobster most of the family would give the bodies to my mother. She showed me how much meat she can get out of the body. I now spend the time to remove those nice pockets of meat from the body.
I remember when I was a kid loving hip hop and sandwiches. On the dance floor, I really knew how to bread it down. That was back when bread dancing was all the rage. Glad to see ATK keeps it old school.
Ohhh you mean break down… gotcha heheh
Where’s the bread?
Is there meat in the body? I didn't hear a yes or a no about that. Overall, I enjoyed the video and would like to see a similar video about crabs.
I've never had lobster bread. I thought this was a new recipe.
Somebody needs to get a new editor.
