A Little Lobster Lecture
There are two main lobster types found in the dishes of many an upmarket eatery. Each has it’s own attributes and distinct flavour, so we’ve summarised the main points you need to know:
Spiny Lobster
- No claws, a very hard shell and very large antenna.
- Mainly found along the California Coast and in the Caribbean Seas.
- Most of the meat is contained in the lobster tails, which is why they are typically sold live, to ensure the meat is succulent and fresh.
- They are warm water lobsters.
Maine Lobster
- These crustaceans are clawed.
- There are two different types; European and American.
- Mainly found along the North American and Canadian coastlines.
- Due to their claws, they contain more meat than their spiny cousins.
- They are mainly cold shallow-water lobsters.
