These lobsters are great boiled, steamed or grilled. Unlike the Maine Lobster, our Local Spiny Lobster does not have claws, and the tail meat is sweeter than that of its Maine counterpart. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDemand for the California Spiny Lobster pushes up the price and makes it a little more of a luxury than other shellfish, but one that is worth it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur local Spiny Lobster season goes from October through mid-March, so make sure to catch them while their in stock. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePricing per Each.

Cook just under a boil. Cooking a full boil renders out fat and meat will lose its flavor. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAlso, while boiling is the more traditional way you will come out with a better texture with a two part process. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAfter 2 to 3 minutes in the water, remove the lobster and split down the middle. Butter the meat and finish cooking under the broiler or on the BBQ grill. Keep a close watch as the meat will burn quickly. This gives a much better texture and you also have the chance to season the meat as you cook\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/santa-barbara-fish-market-2.myshopify.com\/pages\/questions-santa-barbara-spiny-lobster\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#0b5394\"\u003eQuestions - Spiny Lobster\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Santa Barbara Fish Market","offers":[{"title":"1.25","offer_id":41277558882472,"sku":"4102000L-1","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5","offer_id":41277558915240,"sku":"4102000L-2","price":37.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.75","offer_id":45439721111720,"sku":"","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0169\/6656\/products\/Fish35a.jpg?v=1588267604","url":"https:\/\/www.sbfish.com\/products\/santa-barbara-spiny-lobster","provider":"Santa Barbara Fish Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
