Maine health officials: avoid the disgusting green stuff in the giant sea cockroaches.
State health officials are urging lobster eaters to avoid the greenish innards known as the tomalley because of risks of shellfish poisoning.Remember that next time you crack the exoskeleton of the creature not far removed from an insect - some parts of that thing are actually gross.Health officials for years have advised against eating the tomalley, the lobster liver some regard as a delicacy. The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention reiterated its advisory Friday, however, after some lobster livers tested positive for high levels of toxins caused by large blooms of red tide algae.
But health and fisheries officials stress that the advisory applies only to the lobster tomalley, not to the meat.

I know some people say that the "green stuff" is the best part, but I have never been able to bring myself to try it to find out.
