About Crustaceans, lobster, northern, cooked, moist heat
Lobster is shellfish at its most celebrated — sweet, firm and a little extravagant, the centerpiece of special meals from a simple steamed tail with butter to a lobster roll. For all that luxury, the meat itself is surprisingly virtuous.
It's extremely lean: very high in protein with almost no fat and few calories, and a good source of selenium, vitamin B12, zinc and copper. As with most shellfish it carries some dietary cholesterol and can be high in sodium, but its fat content is minimal.
The calories tend to come from what's served with it — the drawn butter and mayonnaise — far more than the lobster, which on its own is one of the leanest proteins you can eat.
