Gather Your Tools Before you begin cracking your lobster claws, make sure you have all the necessary tools on hand. You'll need a seafood cracker, a small fork, a lobster bib, and a clean towel.
Remove the Claw from the Body Twist the lobster claw at the joint until it separates from the body. Be careful not to break any of the meat inside the claw.
Crack the Claw Place the claw on a flat surface, with the softer underside facing up. Hold the claw firmly with one hand and use the seafood cracker to gently crack the claw open at the joint. Be sure not to apply too much pressure, as you don't want to crush the meat inside the claw.
Extract the Meat Using the small fork, carefully remove the meat from the claw. Be sure to remove all of the meat, including the small bits inside the claw.
Repeat Repeat the process with the other lobster claw, and serve the meat on a plate or in a seafood dish. Don't forget to provide your guests with a clean towel and lobster bib to avoid any messy mishaps!
