Abstract
Procedures are provided herein for the optimization of the utilization of crustaceans, e.g., whole lobsters, through the inclusion of under-utilized components. The procedure involves firstly, initiating the detachment of the raw edible deep-shoulder myotomal meat from deep-shoulder cartilaginous skeleton attachment. This may be accomplished either by immersing the head-shell in a solution of protease enzymes, or subjecting the head-shell to at least one freeze-thaw cycle. Then, the so-treated head-shell is subjected to vacuum aspiration to remove, and to recover, the raw meat fraction. Procedures are further-described for the utilization of such recovered raw meat fraction, e.g., to provide stuffing and to provide stuffed crustaceans, e.g., lobsters.
