Omani Rock Lobster is a spiny lobster associated with the coastal waters of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Panulirus homarus belongs to the Palinuridae family and has no large claws like the clawed lobster varieties. Its edible meat is concentrated mainly in the tail and has a firm bite with a naturally sweet marine flavour.
The rocky reef habitat helps explain its strong shell and muscular body. The regional fishery is associated with FAO Fishing Area 51. Wild catch size can vary, so the number of whole lobsters in a kilogram is not fixed.
For UAE cooking, the firm tail works well with garlic, lemon, butter, chilli and Gulf spices. You can split the lobster for grilling or cook it whole before removing the meat.
The team checks each available lobster before preparation rather than treating every piece as identical. Selection focuses on the shell being intact, the body feeling firm and the lobster showing a clean marine appearance.
Because Omani Rock Lobster is sold as a live and fresh product, the order is prepared only after you select the available weight and preparation. It is not pre cooked or pre packed.
• Catch specific selection: Each available lobster is checked individually for shell condition and firmness before cleaning or cutting.
• Tail focused preparation: The firm tail is handled carefully during cleaning so the main edible portion remains intact for grilling, steaming or baking.
• Controlled temperature: Omani Rock Lobster is stored and transported between 0 and 4°C, helping maintain the chilled condition expected for fresh shellfish during UAE delivery.
Fresh Fish Dubai has served customers since 2020. Orders can be placed 24 hours a day through the online shop, phone or WhatsApp.
Split the lobster and brush the exposed meat with olive oil, garlic and lemon. Grill at high heat for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on size, until the meat is opaque and properly cooked.
Place the whole lobster in a steamer and cook for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, adjusting the time for its weight. Serve with lemon, melted butter and rice.
Place cleaned lobster portions in a baking dish with garlic, lemon slices, olive oil and mild spices. Bake at around 190°C for 12 to 18 minutes, depending on portion size.
