The South Coast lobster is a market leader in the frozen, cold water tail market in the USA. This wild caught cold water species, rose in colour, occurs in the deep temperate South Atlantic ocean. Our supplier has a fleet of lobster vessels operating from their headquarters in Cape Town, where their cold storage facility, processing plant, and engineering workshop provide comprehensive support to ensure optimum utilisation of both the vessels and lobster products.

These are hard-shelled cold water species, meaning the meat will be succulent and sweet. The key to retaining the lobster tail meat’s integrity, and tenderness, is in proper thawing. It’s crucial that the meat remain as cold as possible before cooking, so the tails should be thawed in a sealed bag in the fridge for a least 6 hours. This wonderful shellfish can be cooked using a wide range of methods. Boiling, steaming and grilling can be used to prepare delicious sumptuous and succulent lobster meat. For serving amounts, a general rule of thumb is that one 6-8 ounce tail will serve one person.
