Dreaming of a lobster feast? If so and you make good on your dreams, you'll want to steer clear of lobster tomalley.

Maine officials are recommending consumers avoid eating tomalley after tests revealed high levels of toxins in some lobsters. Lobster meat is perfectly safe. It's the tomalley, a soft green substance found in the body of the lobster, that poses a risk.

Apparently, high levels of toxic algae known as red tide have been found along Maine's coast this summer, causing all sorts of problems. Regardless, the FDA has long advised consumers to not eat tomalley, which is considered a delicacy to some.
