South African Lobster Tail

South African lobster tails, often called “cold-water spiny lobster,” are renowned for their sweet, succulent, and firm, steak-like meat. Caught at depths of 450-650 feet, these tails are usually blast-frozen at sea to preserve quality. They are a premium, often expensive, delicacy typically weighing 6-8 oz or 8-10 oz.

• Flavor/Texture: Exceptionally sweet with a firm, meaty texture.
• Appearance: Distinctive red and white color with a thick shell and meat.
• Source: They are spiny lobsters, meaning they have no claws, unlike Maine lobsters.
• Sustainability: South African fisheries are strictly managed.
