Hatchling mirelurk meat

 is a food item found in Fallout 3. It can restore some of your Hit Points, but also gives you a small amount of radiation.


 * Hatchling Mirelurk Meat is found in Mirelurk egg clutches, such as those deep in the Anchorage War Memorial.
 * This meat is very ineffective in its health giving effects. Mirelurk Meat and Softshell Mirelurk Meat give 20 to 30 HP for 2 Rads, while Hatchling Mirelurk Meat only contributes 5 HP.

A large number of Mirelurk egg clutches can be found early in game on the Potomac river. Start at Super Duper Mart and go North until you hit the Potomac, at which point move west until you come across a large number of egg clutches. You will have to kill 3-4 Mirelurks to scavenge them, so come prepared, but it is well worth it because you can usually obtain 40+ of the hatchling meat+ Mirelurk meat+ Softshell Mirelurk meat.
