Push the meat out through the large end of the tail. Remove the vein from the center of the tail. After 5 minutes, remove the claws from the pot and crack open with the back of a knife. Use only enough force to crack the claw and loosen the meat. Remove the meat from the knuckles. Reserve the tail shells and cut out the thin underside of them with scissors.
