Canadian lobster

We import exclusively from the waters around Nova Scotia. Wild catch, caught with traps. Lobsters are not fed in the tanks. With the aim of cleaning the lobsters from the inside, purging them. Cannibal.

Female lobsters carrying eggs may not be caught and are given a notch in their tail. This shows other fishermen that they are not allowed to catch them. The aim of this is to keep the lobster population at a high level.

Under ideal conditions, which are never the case, a lobster grows a maximum of 100g per year at the beginning of its life. After five to ten years, this slows down and the lobster starts growing less rapidly. A lobster has an exoskeleton: the skeleton is on the outside; as the lobster grows, it must molt. This happens several times a year. The process is also influenced by the water temperature. 3 to 4 times a year. Smallest size 400-500g, rising to 1.5kg.

Lobsters are sensitive to stress. As soon as the stress level is too high, the digestion process begins. That process starts in the claws. You will then see that there is little meat in the claw. This applies to every species of lobster. Available all year round. Taste:

Canadian canner/baby lobster: Sweet meat compared to older lobsters. 350-400g.
