Fresh Lobster (جراد البحر)

Product identity & Origin

Lobster is a high-value marine crustacean recognized for its sweet, buttery taste and firm, juicy texture. Known in Arabic as جراد البحر, it belongs to the family Nephropidae, with scientific classifications including Homarus americanus and Panulirus ornatus. It lives in saltwater habitats across the North Atlantic and Indian Ocean regions, commonly sourced from FAO fishing areas 21 and 51 using sustainable wild-catch methods.

This lobster features a hard protective shell, bright clear eyes, and a fresh ocean aroma—key signs of premium quality. Its white meat is slightly fibrous, rich, and succulent, making it a favorite for UAE dishes like seafood Machboos and Sayadieh. Its standout appeal lies in combining luxury dining with high-protein nutrition.

How to Cook Fresh Lobster

Boiling Method
Cook lobster in boiling salted water at 100°C for 8–12 minutes depending on size. Add garlic, bay leaves, and lemon for enhanced flavor. Serve with melted butter or rice for a traditional Friday seafood meal.

Grilling Method
Preheat grill to 200°C. Slice lobster lengthwise, brush with olive oil, garlic, and spices, then grill for 6–8 minutes. This method enhances smoky flavor and is perfect for seafood platters or Machboos-style serving.

Steaming Method
Steam lobster for 10–15 minutes to retain its natural juices. Lightly season with salt and herbs. This method keeps the meat tender and is ideal for Sayadieh or healthy meals.
