Lobster tails from IKRiNKA

Among the multitude of seafood options, lobster tails hold a special place. This precious delicacy is highly prized by gourmets for its tender meat and distinctive taste. They are staples on the menus of the finest Michelin-starred restaurants, and IKRiNKA makes this delicacy accessible to all health-conscious food lovers.

Origin of the delicacy

The lobster is a representative of the decapod crustacean class, a large ten-legged marine crustacean whose first pair of legs has evolved into large claws. Lobsters live primarily on the seabed in the rocky shelf areas of the Atlantic basin at depths of 4 to 50 meters. Their average lifespan is 30 to 50 years, although 140-year-old females have also been found.

The size of a 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 shell and fan-like tail ranges from grey-green to blue-green.

Culinary characteristics of the lobster

Animals no older than 5-6 years and weighing up to 1 kg are typically used. The most valuable part is the tail, also called the "neck" – its meat is particularly tender.
