When you boil a whole lobster all of it's internal organs get boiled together inside the shell. It's called "tomalley" and it's safe to eat despite the color.
Make sure you take out the poop shoot located inside the valley of the tail. Don't want to be eating that.

My chef made me eat every organ meat we came across in the kitchen to "break" me of my preconceived notions of organ meat flavors.
"Eat the heart. No, eat it. Look, I'll eat half of it. It's fucking good. Eat it or I'll make everyone call you a bitch on the line tonight."
It was hard to get over that, but in the end it was worth it.
That being said.... my mother's microwaveable meatloaf is probably the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten. Fucking gross.
