About Caribbean Warm-Water Lobster
Caribbean Warm-Water Lobster is a warm-water species and a different animal from the cold-water lobster most North American buyers grew up with. It has no large front claws. Effectively all of the edible meat is in the tail, which is why it is bought and sold as tails rather than whole.
The meat is firmer and denser than cold-water lobster, with a cleaner, sweeter flavour and a light brininess. That firmness is an advantage under direct heat: split tails hold their texture on the grill or under a broiler, where softer lobster can turn to mush. It also carries well in arroz con langosta, paella, thermidor and ceviche. It cooks quickly and turns rubbery if pushed, so it rewards a short, hot treatment.
The spec that matters is tail weight, not animal weight. We grade from 3 ounce tails through to the 20 to 24 ounce range, which spans two quite different uses: the smaller grades for portioned and composed dishes where lobster is a component, the larger tails for centre-of-plate service where the tail is the dish.
Our Caribbean Warm-Water Lobster is sourced from Mexico and supplied frozen.
