European Blue Lobster
The King of Lobsters
(Saturday Jun 07 , 2025)
TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR
Hailed as the King of Lobsters, the Fresh European Blue Lobster from Brittany is a true delicacy. Known for its striking blue shell and prized claw meat, this lobster offers a firm, succulent texture and a rich, briny depth that evokes the essence of the Atlantic. Its flavor is bold yet refined—an exquisite treat for true seafood connoisseurs.
PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS
Once cooked, its vibrant shell blushes a classic red, ready to star in both rustic and elegant preparations. Indulge in a decadent Lobster Thermidor, a velvety bisque, or the timeless luxury of a buttered lobster roll. For purists, it shines simply steamed or boiled, then dipped in warm clarified butter—unapologetically indulgent.
Pair with a chilled Chablis or Champagne to elevate its oceanic sweetness.
OF CLAWS AND CURIOSITIES
Blue lobsters are more than just rare—they’re marvels of marine life. Once dismissed as peasant fare due to their rugged appearance, lobsters were once used by Native Americans as bait and fertilizer before becoming a global delicacy. Rich in protein and Omega-3, and surprisingly low in fat, they are as nourishing as they are delicious.
Voracious by nature, lobsters feed on shellfish, mollusks—and occasionally, their own kind. After molting, they even consume their discarded shells to quickly restore lost calcium. A fascinating creature, this blue-shelled beauty is as compelling in biology as it is on the plate.
Cryoginized or Flash Frozen
Not your ordinary frozen lobster. Cryoginized lobster is flash-frozen using advanced cryogenic technology—often with liquid nitrogen—to lock in its ocean-fresh flavor and delicate texture.
This ultra-rapid freezing method prevents ice crystal damage, preserving the lobster’s natural succulence and integrity. The result? A premium culinary experience that tastes as if it was just plucked from the sea.
Ideal for fine dining, gourmet preparations, and those who settle for nothing less than excellence.
