Frozen Sand Lobster / Slipper Lobster (كركند زجاجي مجمّد) — Buy Online in UAE or Dubai

Frozen Sand Lobster (Slipper Lobster) is a distinctive marine crustacean known for its flat, armor-like shell and sweet, delicate meat. Scientifically classified under Scyllaridae family, it inhabits warm coastal waters and sandy seabeds. In Arabic, it is called كركند زجاجي مجمّد, a popular seafood choice in gourmet kitchens across the UAE.

This lobster offers a mildly sweet, slightly nutty flavor with a firm yet tender texture. Unlike traditional lobsters, it has no large claws; instead, edible meat is concentrated in the tail and body segments. Its structure is boneless but enclosed in a hard protective shell.

It is commonly used in grilled seafood platters, butter garlic sauté dishes, spicy Asian stir-fries, and luxurious UAE seafood feasts. In Dubai and Abu Dhabi restaurants, it is often featured in premium mixed seafood grills and fine dining platters.

Appearance includes a flattened body, segmented shell, and naturally preserved color through blast-freezing technology that maintains freshness from ocean to plate.
