I'm often surprised to learn that many people don't know there's a difference in lobster depending on the time of year in which it was caught. I'm very partial to soft shell lobster as you can eat it with your hands and the meat is sweeter. We're coming into soft shell season now, and lobster pounds should have plenty of them within the coming weeks.
Other fun facts:
The green "innards" in the lobster are called the tomalley and can be eaten, though it's really not my thing. My grandparents always ate this part without a second thought.
Female lobsters have eggs called "coral," and that part I do eat because it's delicious. The eggs turn red when cooked and are quite pretty. They also make a nice garnish on lobster rolls.
