Live Frozen Caribbean Lobster 400g-450g

 

also known as spiny lobster (Panulirus argus), is distinct from the American (Boston) lobster. Here are some key points about Caribbean lobster.

Physical Characteristics

  • Appearance: Spiny lobsters lack the large claws that American lobsters have. They have a long, spiny body and antennae, and their shell is typically more colorful, ranging from mottled brown to greenish-blue.
  • Size: They can grow quite large, with some individuals reaching lengths of over 2 feet.

Caribbean lobster offers a unique and flavorful alternative to its northern counterpart, with a range of dishes that highlight its sweet, tender meat and the vibrant flavors of Caribbean cuisine.

Pairings and Sides

  • Wines: White wines such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and Sauvignon Blanc pair well with Caribbean lobster dishes.
  • Sides: Common sides include rice, plantains, tropical fruits, and various vegetable dishes.
  • Bread: Freshly baked bread or Caribbean-style flatbreads are often served to complement the meal.
  • Preparation: Lobster is often boiled or steamed until its shell turns bright red.
  • Serving: Typically served whole with drawn butter, lemon wedges, and sometimes with a side of coleslaw or corn on the cob.
