    • It takes 5-6 lobsters to make 1 pound of claw and knuckle lobster meat.
    • Approximately 5-6 tails per pound of lobster tail meat depending on the tail size.
    Lobster claw and knuckle meat vs. tail meat?
    • Both lobster tail and claw & knuckle meat are flavorful and delicious. It's more about your preference and what you're preparing.
