Dressed Cornish Lobster

Lobster Season is coming to a close! Fewer lobsters means higher prices, and we're starting to see the slow climb to the silly-highs of late Autumn and winter. We will still have lobsters available, but because fewer are being caught we start to see less availability. Pre-ordering is highly recommended if you want a specific size or a large number of lobsters We've become pretty famous for our lobsters, especially after being featured in BBC2's 'Cornwall - This Fishing Life' (Series 1 Episode 4 if you're interested in watching) Over the last 9 years we have built up the most amazing, unique relationship with fisherman Andrew Stevens and we're very proud to have his lobsters in our shop. Andrew fishes out of Newlyn, placing his pots around the coast and, working in his own, hauls, packs and sends them up to Camberley for our customers to enjoy When buying live lobsters we recommend you cook on the day of collection Throughout the late autumn and into winter, native lobsters are harder to come by. Once the 'season' has ended and demand starts to outstrip supply, usually around late September, lobster prices start to increase rapidly with peak prices from November through to February. The 'market price' of lobsters will be monitored daily and will be reflected in the prices both online and in the shop. As the seasons move on and the lobsters start to show again, the season begins in earnest around May

Servings

The season is coming to an end and although we're still seeing lobsters out of Newlyn, fewer are being caught every week and so the price has started to rise. ** Remember, when lobsters are cooked, split, prepared and the claws are shelled the weight will be around 35-40% less than the weight of the original live lobster
