Tomalley: good or gross? Thrillist says the latter

It's a given that as Mainers, we love our seafood, and we're darn proud of it.

But there's one aspect of seafood that is an *acquired* taste; tomalley. You know, the fun, green stuff buried deep inside a lobster.

Yes, it's edible, and tomalley is actually the lobster's liver and pancreas. And according to a recent article from Thrillist, it's something Mainers love, but is actually kind of gross.

"While it's deep with flavor you've likely unknowingly encountered in soups and sauces and the like, some Mainers swear by eating the stuff straight up," writes Wil Fulton. "Let's just say there's a reason it hasn't caught on as a popular lobster roll topping."

Slow your lobster roll, Fulton. We'll be the judge of that.
