The Maine Lobster is one of the most popular marine delicacies in the world, considered a crustacean that has become a staple of gastronomy for its delicious flavor and unique texture. For this and more we invite you to learn a little more about this delicacy.
What is Maine Lobster?
Known as a lobster-like species, it is native to the Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. This species of crustacean is usually larger than other varieties, and has a unique flavor and texture that distinguishes it. It is caught year-round, but is best caught during the summer and fall months when the water is cooler.
Why is it so special in gastronomy?
This dish is considered a delicacy in the world of gastronomy for several reasons:
- It has a distinctive flavor that is both sweet with a slightly salty tinge. This flavor is the result of the species’ diet, which consists primarily of fish, crabs and mollusks.
- The texture of the Maine lobster is unique, with firm, slightly chewy, succulent and juicy flesh.
- Almost all parts are usable for tasting, especially the thorax area, which has a creamy texture called coral.
