Place the lobster meat in a bowl and remove any remaining cartilage by hand. Add the oil, mayonnaise, onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice to the lobster meat. Using a rubber spatula or spoon, gently fold (or toss) all ingredients until well blended. Season well with salt and pepper.
