- Thaw lobster, if frozen. Rinse lobster; pat dry. Butterfly tails by using kitchen shears or a sharp knife to cut lengthwise through centers of hard top shells and meat. Cut to, but not through, bottom shells. Press shell halves of tails apart with your fingers.
- For stuffing, in a small saucepan cook green onion in the 1 tbsp margarine or butter till tender but not brown. Stir in flour and dill. Add half-and-half, light cream, or milk all at once. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Gently stir in the crabmeat and wine.
