Notes:

Fish
We cook most fish at 122 °F / 50 °C to get that great tender, flaky texture. You can cook several pieces in the same bag, but don’t crowd them. If you have a large whole fish, break it down to help it cook evenly.

Note:
Cook times are based on filets that are about 1 in (2.5 cm) thick. When preparing thinner pieces—from the tail, say—you may want to take fish out about 10 minutes early. If you've got a fat guy, you may need to tack on an extra 10 to 20 minutes. Feel free to check as you go; you can always toss fish back in the bath and keep cooking.

Lobster
Lobster meat is extremely soft and delicate when raw. It's nearly impossible to remove the shell from a raw lobster withoug mangling it, so it's essential that you parboil the lobster before attempting to remove the shell. Here's how: First, set a large pot of water to boil, and then an ice bath to stop the cooking. In order to prevent the tail from curling, lay the lobster flat on the board, insert two wooden skewers, starting from the body end and exiting through the joints near the tail. Keep them as close to the shell as possible to minimize internal damage. Plunge into a large pot of boiling water for just 1½ minutes then quickly transfer to the previously prepared ice bath. Now you're ready to remove the parboiled lobster meat from the shell. https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/12/sous-vide-lobster-recipe.html
