You can't see them from the outside of the lobster--these eggs are too immature. You are required by law to release a female lobster that has mature eggs on the outside of the tail. @ Valerie Williams–Actually, they are referring to the eggs INSIDE the lobster, inside the tail.

Mon, 21 Jun 2010 13:57:52 +0000 http://www.freshmainelobster.com/maine-lobster-colors-textures-and-stuff/#comment-182 I have been cooking lobster all my life but cooked one yesterday where the eggs - many, many of them - were black. the lobster was cooked perfectly so not undercooked. We tossed the black eggs but salvaged the rest of the lobster and no one is sick yet. I even ate some of the bright red coral that was under the black stuff. Everything smelled fine. Any ideas on what that was and was it really safe to eat?
