Lobster sourcing by species and presentation
Lobster · Homarus spp. (cold water) / Panulirus spp. (warm water)
Cold-water lobster (American or European) has claws and a sweeter meat; warm-water spiny lobster is traded mainly as tails. Both are sold by size and by segment.
Typical presentations: whole cooked or raw; tails by weight range; claw, knuckle and leg (CKL) meat.
How to request it
Start with the lobster species or source preference, then define the product format. Whole lobster, tails, and meat require different size and packing details. For meat inquiries, specify the portions or composition your business expects.
