Where was your lobster prepared/served? Im leaning towards precooked and frozen. I've never tried to de-shell an uncooked lobster, but it sounds like a pain in the rump. I've done it with shrimp and it's soooo much easier after they've been boiled.
The two restaurants I referred to, in post #1, were in Las Vegas. The final (ready for eating) lobster was in the shell, but slid out with NO effort. The claw "meat" was separate (no shell).
I'm re-reading my title and #1 post...I'm not sure 100% sure how it was cooked--but I can attest to the final product.
