Lobster Tails from IKRiNKA
Among the wide variety of seafood, lobster tails hold a special place. This precious delicacy is highly valued by gourmets for its tender meat and distinctive flavor. They appear on the menus of the best Michelin-starred restaurants, and IKRiNKA makes this delicacy accessible to all health-conscious gourmets.
Origin of the Delicacy
The lobster (English) or homard (French) is a representative of the class of higher crustaceans, a large, ten-legged marine crustacean whose first pair of legs has been transformed into large claws. Lobsters primarily live in the benthic areas of rocky shelf regions of the Atlantic basin at a depth of 4 to 50 meters. Their average age is 30 to 50 years, but 140-year-old females have also been found.
The size of the lobster varies between 20 and 60 cm, although males measuring about 1 m in length and weighing 15-20 kg have been found. The coloration of the robust carapace and the fan-shaped tail varies from grayish-green to bluish-green.

Culinary Characteristics of Lobster
Animals that are no older than 5-6 years and weigh up to 1 kg are used. The most valuable part is the lobster's tail, also called the "neck" – its meat is particularly tender.
When cooked, the lobster changes its color to red, and its meat becomes juicy and acquires a distinctive sweet taste, complemented by a maritime aroma.
