The easiest no hassle way to prepare them is to simply rinse the creatures off in cold water, heat up some boiling salted water, and toss them in. Boil for approximately 4-6 minutes or until the shell is bright orange and the meat is no longer transparent. Once cooked let sit for 3 minutes and then separate the tail end from the rest of the body by gripping the head in one hand and the tail in the other. Gently pull and twist at the same time and the tail should pop right out. The tail is the most substantial meat on the dads, but the claws, head and even the gooey green innards don't taste so bad. Spice up some melted butter with cayenne pepper, garlic, and bay leaves; and you have got your own mini mud lobster feast!
Save the water in which the dads were boiled in to make soup, sauce, whatever.
hope this helps!
