Live Spiny Lobster

California spiny lobsters are not as famous as the Maine lobster, and this is because they lack the large pincers (aka claw meat) of their Eastern relatives. California spiny lobster meat, however, is often deemed sweeter than the Maine lobster, and they’re a treat if you can get your hands on them. Right now, the market for spiny lobsters is largely in Asia with most spiny lobsters shipped straight to China from California. If we’ve got these local guys in our shop, give them a try and you just might get hooked!
