Lobster Information:

Belonging to the family Nephropidae, lobsters are crustaceans known for their elongated bodies, hard exoskeletons, and prominent claws. Found in various oceans and seas, they inhabit rocky crevices and burrows on the ocean floor. Lobsters display remarkable adaptability, thriving in diverse environments ranging from shallow coastal waters to depths of several hundred meters.

One of the most striking features of lobsters is their ability to undergo astonishing transformations. As they grow, lobsters molt, shedding their old exoskeletons and revealing a larger, softer one beneath. During molting, lobsters are particularly vulnerable and seek shelter until their new exoskeleton hardens. This process allows them to grow throughout their lifespan, which can exceed several decades.

Apart from their intriguing biology, lobsters have also become culinary delicacies. Known for their succulent meat, they are celebrated in various cuisines worldwide. From the classic lobster bisque and lobster rolls to buttery lobster tails and steamed whole lobsters, these crustaceans tantalize taste buds with their sweet, tender flesh. Whether served in fine dining establishments or enjoyed at casual seafood shacks, lobster dishes are a symbol of indulgence and celebration.
