A lobster fork, or lobster pick, which is a tiny metal fork used to dig into the lobster's crevices for meat. A bone dish, used as a receptacle for lobster shells. Hand wipes are often dispensed after the meal, so you can wipe the lobster juices from your fingers. Some people like to eat the lobster part by part, eating the meat from each piece as it is detached from the body. Others prefer to dismantle the entire lobster and enjoy the meat all at once, after the work is out of the way. The choice is yours - both are equally acceptable, etiquette-wise.
