Live California Spiny Lobster

This item is available for PICKUP or LOCAL DELIVERY only! Lobsters are sold individually; pricing reflects an average weight of 1.5 lbs.

Sweet, succulent, and unmistakably West Coast, wild-caught California Spiny Lobster has long been a seasonal favorite among chefs and adventurous home cooks. We're thrilled to now be available to offer it! The best part? We source our spiny lobsters directly from local fishermen and keep them live in our tanks until you order — ensuring the highest quality every time.

Unlike its clawed Maine cousin, the spiny lobster concentrates its meat in the tail, delivering more yield per pound. Served raw, the meat is firm, supple, and silky. When cooked, it holds its texture beautifully while remaining tender and succulent, excelling when grilled, broiled, or poached. Leftover shells may be used to make rich, flavorful bases for soups, bisques, or sauces.

Of course, locals know there’s nothing more iconic than enjoying spiny lobster Puerto Nuevo–style. A Baja classic dating back to the 1950s, this preparation features lobster split and deep-fried until golden and crisp, then served with rice, beans, and warm tortillas — simple, timeless perfection!
