Sand Lobster is a marine crustacean rather than a finfish. Thenus orientalis belongs to the Scyllaridae family and has a broad flattened body, hard shell and substantial tail meat.
The term lobster Sand can appear as a reversed search phrase for Sand Lobster. The product itself is commonly described as a slipper lobster because of its flattened body shape.
This lobster lives on sandy or muddy marine sea beds. Published research describes Thenus orientalis in warm marine environments, while seafood product specifications also identify the species as Thenus orientalis.
The edible meat has a firm texture with a naturally mild and slightly sweet seafood flavor. Its shape and firm meat make it suitable for grilling, pan cooking and butter garlic preparations.
Sand Lobster is associated with warm Indian Ocean fisheries, including fisheries around India. The exact country and fishing area can vary by batch, so the final origin should be taken from the product label for the stock being sold.
The current source information identifies Thenus orientalis with Indian fisheries and mentions areas including Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Odisha.
