Ah that's what we call the nack. there is a certain way of separating the legs to pull out the meat. Twits slightly and pull. Plenty of brown meat under the shell and where the legs meet the body is more White meat. Just don't eat the lungs and don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.
It's an outdoor job really. I usually do it on the patio table and eat as I go. Back of a spoon is good to pick out the awkward bits.

Thanks bud.. I did that last year and it was so messy I thought i doing something wrong, just not "gutting" correctly and gave up.

I might need a barrel or something to cook him in, dont have pot big enough..
 
Buy a big pot for yourself. Ud get one cheap in an old hardware place or second hand. Handy to have and u will get lots of use out of it. I left mine in mullaghmore the last time. Must get it back off Feargus. It's my good lobster jacuzzi and I miss it terribly.
 
Jaysus Johnny you shoulda said earlier I am sure Philipe has his name engraved on it since. Is my Alzheimers kicking in early or did you change your screen name?

Cheers for the review

Think I might have to go deeper.. I did Feargus course a few months back and only now putting it into practice but as a complete novice my diving has hugely improved. I'm a lot more relaxed and can stay down over twice as long as last year.

I'd highly recommend the course to anyone looking to learn.
 
Says it all really....
