Most likely you are talking about butter stains and these can be very difficult to remove - especially from a delicate fabric.

• If it is a fresh stain you may be able to remove most of the stain with baby powder or baking soda.
• If the stain is already set then you might try a dish washing soap (like grease cutting Dawn).
• Lay garment with stain showing (only one layer of cloth) on clean towel and apply liquid soap. Rub in with a toothbrush and let sit for about 30 minutes.

• Run under hot to hotter water (whatever your fabric can take) until all soap is removed.
• It may take more than once to completely remove the stain. Then wash (delicate garment should be washed in a lingerie garment bag) in warm water.
• Check to be sure stain is gone before placing in dryer.
• Stains can sometimes be removed if placed in the sun (on top of a clean white towel) by keeping garment wet and moving to different clean places on the towel.
• Here is a link that gives full directions for any of these treatments.

Is it from butter or from the actual lobster? I'd use a pre-wash and hand wash and let it dry outside.
