Fresh Spiny Lobster is selected by checking the shell, tail condition and overall appearance before preparation. The spiny lobster has no large front claws and concentrates much of its edible meat in the tail, making tail condition particularly important when selecting the product.
For larger specimens, size should be confirmed at checkout because natural lobster weights vary. A typical Panulirus homarus can reach around 31cm in total length, with common lengths around 20 to 25cm.
Unlike clawed lobster, spiny lobster belongs to the Palinuridae family and does not have the large pincers associated with true clawed lobsters. Its long antennae and spiny carapace are distinctive features, while the tail provides the main portion of meat used for grilling and other preparations.
• Tail focused preparation: The spiny lobster's substantial tail is particularly suitable for grilling, splitting and portioning, so you can select a preparation that matches your recipe.
• Size based buying: Fresh Spiny Lobster is naturally sold according to weight, with medium and larger specimens available depending on the catch.
• 0 to 4°C handling: The lobster is kept under refrigerated conditions during storage and delivery to preserve the firm texture expected from fresh lobster.
Fresh Spiny Lobster has firm, succulent tail meat with a naturally sweet marine flavour. Its texture holds together well during grilling and baking, making it suitable for dishes where the lobster needs to remain intact rather than break apart.
Grilling: Split the lobster and grill for approximately 8 to 12 minutes, depending on size.
Steaming: Steam for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, adjusting the time according to the lobster's weight.
Baking: Bake at around 200°C for approximately 12 to 15 minutes after splitting or cleaning.
Avoid overcooking because lobster meat can become firm and dry when exposed to excessive heat.
