European lobster fresh

Fresh European Lobster

Fresh European lobster is an exclusive delicacy from the clear coastal waters of Europe, including the North Sea. This lobster is highly valued for its fine meat, delicate texture and subtle, slightly sweet flavour. European lobster is easily recognised by its characteristic dark blue to almost black colour with lighter speckles. Its refined character and elegant texture make it particularly suitable for gastronomic preparations where the pure flavour of the product takes centre stage.

Flavour & texture

Subtle, refined and slightly sweet in flavour, with delicate, tender and succulent lobster meat. The texture is delicate yet firm enough to hold together beautifully during cooking.

Culinary applications

Excellent for boiling, steaming, grilling or oven cooking. The lobster can be served whole or incorporated into refined starters and main courses. The lobster meat is also particularly suitable for salads, pasta, risotto and premium seafood dishes. The shell and head can be used to prepare a rich lobster stock, bisque or shellfish sauce.
