Characteristics and commercial applications

Product description

Canadian Atlantic lobster is harvested in the cold waters of Eastern Canada. Seafood from Canada reports that more than half of the world’s North Atlantic lobster supply comes from Canadian waters. Buyers value the hard shell, strong meat fill and range of live, cooked, frozen and value-added formats. Regional harvest seasons support year-round supply planning.

Taste and texture

Firm, succulent meat with natural sweetness. Hard-shell lobster is preferred for strong meat fill and reliable quality through live transport.
