There is no foolproof way to determine a lobster's age. One can only make an educated guess by looking at the lobster's size It takes approximately 7 years for a lobster to reach 1 pound. After that, a lobster will grow about 1 pound for every 3 years

To know if your lobster is good or bad. The part where the tail meets the back you want to break and make a hole for your finger to fit. Your finger should be going into the tail not going into the back of the lobster. On the roof you should feel the shell and then under your finger there will be meat if the meat is squishy not firm, messy, and gooey. Then you have a bad lobster. If its firm and pink it is good.
