Yes you can eat raw lobster.

All lobster is edible raw and can be eaten raw safely

But if you do eat raw lobster there is the potential for bacteria to be in the raw lobster that can make some people sick.

So I personally would not recommend eating raw lobster but for most people it is safe to eat lobster raw and a lot of people do eat raw lobster and are just fine.

I've tried raw lobster before and to me it was not very good.

But I love cooked lobster and can eat a lot of cooked lobster but raw lobster doesn't taste good to me.

When lobster is cooked the lobster is put into a boiling pot of water alive so you cook the lobster alive until it dies and is cooked.

Then you take the lobster apart and eat it that way.

Lobster can be eaten raw but if you're pregnant you should not eat raw lobster as it can cause harm to the unborn baby.

Also lobster tastes much better when cooked than it does raw.

Lobster can be eaten raw but if you're pregnant you should avoid raw lobster because of the potential of bacteria.

Lobster is best eaten cooked but it's also safe to eat raw.
