Wild-caught warm water lobster tails from tropical waters, previously frozen for optimal freshness and shelf life. These are spiny lobsters (rock lobsters) sourced from the Caribbean and Central American regions, with most of their meat concentrated in the tail. Warm water lobsters grow faster than their cold water counterparts and offer a milder seafood flavor with a slightly softer texture compared to Maine lobster.

Each 5-pound box contains multiple lobster tails, typically averaging 4-5 ounces per tail. The tails are sold thawed from frozen state and ready to cook. Best prepared by grilling, broiling, or steaming for 8-12 minutes until internal temperature reaches 140°F. Ideal for dishes with bold seasonings like curries, seafood stews, or simply served with melted butter and lemon. The meat should be pulled from the shell before serving.

These warm water lobster tails provide a more affordable alternative to cold water varieties while still delivering quality seafood. Unlike Maine lobsters that have large claws, spiny lobsters have smaller claws with all premium meat located in the tail section. The faster growth rate in warm tropical waters produces larger tails with slightly mushier texture and more pronounced seafood flavor compared to the sweeter, firmer cold water varieties.
