There are no known safety considerations when it comes to eating lobster meat. This is the liver and pancreas, which are thought to accumulate contaminants from the environment. Much like the liver of other animals, the lobster's tomalley is the natural filter for contaminants from entering the system. It is reassuring to know that the lobster's natural defense system is at work, keeping the lobster meat wholesome, nutritious and delicious. Crayfish are related to lobsters, but the crayfish live in fresh or brackish water.
Lobsters live only in salt water.
