  Frozen Lobster  
Species: (English): Cape Spiny Rock Lobster (West Coast Rock Lobster) - (Latin): Jasus Lalandii
(English): Southern Spiny Rock Lobster (South Coast Rock Lobster) - (Latin): Palinurus Gilchristi


Lobsters belong to a family of arthropods which are characterised by a horny exoskeleton. The body is segmented to allow flexure between segments and the limbs are jointed to allow bending. The body space is continuous and no internal repetition of organs occur. The tail fan is spine tipped.
 
      

Stringent production standards ensure the highest quality. Lame, damaged and dead lobsters are tailed.

What follows is the process flow for both frozen types

1.
Discharge live lobsters ex vessel.

2. Weigh and sort lobsters (dead lobsters are removed and tailed immediately). The tails are then put into the production process.

3. Live storage and purging (in seawater) for a minimum of 3 days.

4. Whole lobster are then drowned in fresh water and either frozen raw or steam cooked.

5. Specially selected lobster are isolated for premium Nitrogen frozen whole.

6.
The whole lobsters are then stored at below 20 degrees celsius and dispatched.
